[ovirt-users] Some VMs in status "not responding" in oVirt interface

Hi,

just to get it straight: most of my VMs had one or more existing snapshots. Do you think this is a problem currently? If I understand it correctly the BZ of Markus concerns only a short period of time while removing a snapshot, but my VMs stopped responding in the middle of the night without any interaction...
I deleted all the snapshots, just in case :) my system is running fine for nearly three days now, I'm not quite sure but I think it helped that I changed the HDD and NIC of the Windows 2012 VMs to VirtIO devices...

Best regards, Christian

Markus, thanks for the BZ. I think I do see the same issue. Actually my VM is currently the only with a live snapshot and (puppetmaster) does a lot of I/O.

Christian, maybe this BZ1262251 also applicable?

I'll go ahead and delete the live snapshot. If I see this issue again I will submit the trace to your BZ.
