[ovirt-users] Deleting large snapshots blocks the whole cluster

[Stefan Wendler]

Hi,

do you mean during snapshot deletion or in general?

In general we do not have any swap usage at all. On none of the 4 hosts.

We had some swap I/O on the host that is SPM most of the time. But not
during that period where we tried to delete the snapshot.

Cheers,
Stefan
