Thanks Patrick, I unfortunately haven't found anything in there which I'd have lacked in my try to recreate :-/
Btw: I think this should be $i and not mail, although if guests are all the same it doesn't matter "IMAGE_DIR=`virsh domblklist mail" -> "IMAGE_DIR=`virsh domblklist $i" What is the ammount of Data you sync each time - maybe this is far bigger in your than in my case. Do you happen to know how much that is? I mean we only talk about the I/O that sums up while you do backup, how long is that - a few minutes, should not be too much right? If you end up trying the newer libvirt let me know if that solves your issue at least. There would also be a way in between - I have a ppa where we tried to backport some of the blockjob changes here: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/2619 Chances are that this might affect you, yet OTOH since this is your production system I'd not use it as it is experimental. That said while I fail to reproduce, do you have a test env where this triggers as well and that you could use to try such experimental libvirt packages? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681839 Title: libvirt - disk not ready for pivot yet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1681839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
