[ovirt-users] IO errors when adding new disk on iSCSI storage

[Dafna Ron]

adding federico since I think he can probably add more info here.

when we use thin provisionining we have to extend the disk during 
writing (it's set to do that every 2GB I think).
during extend the vm pauses and resumes.

However, this action should not be noticeable by the vm user.

Does the vm pause and resumes or pauses completely? is it noticeable by 
the vm user?

Thanks,
Dafna
