Re: [libvirt-users] recovering from deleted snapshot

sorry about top post, tablet mail client... brilliant! that did it! Any idea what happened to cause it to partially fail and get into this state? oot@vm1 ~]# virsh blockjob serv1r2 vda Active Block Commit: [100 %] [root@vm1 ~]# virsh blockjob --pivot serv1r2 vda [root@vm1 ~]# [root@vm1 ~]# ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/images/serv1r2.qcow2 -rw-r--r--. 1 qemu qemu 54200696832 Jun 30 10:39 /var/lib/libvirt/images/serv1r2.qcow2 [root@vm1 ~]# date Fri Jun 30 10:39:12 EDT 2017 [root@vm1 ~]# date Fri Jun 30 10:39:51 EDT 2017 [root@vm1 ~]# ls -l /var/lib/libvirt/images/serv1r2.qcow2 -rw-r--r--. 1 qemu qemu 54200696832 Jun 30 10:40 /var/lib/libvirt/images/serv1r2.qcow2 [root@vm1 ~]# Sent from my android device. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; To: Doug Hughes <doug.hughes(a)keystonenap.com&gt; Cc: libvirt-users(a)redhat.com Sent: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 9:38 Subject: Re: [libvirt-users] recovering from deleted snapshot On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 09:23:29 -0400, Doug Hughes wrote: [...] What does 'virsh blockjob serv1r2 vda' report? If it's something like this: $ virsh blockjob fedora23 vda Active Block Commit: [100 %] Then you just need to finalize the block job by: virsh blockjob --pivot serv1r2 vda If that's not the case, please post what virsh blockjob is reporting and the <disk> part of the XML. In case where libvirt falsely thinks that the job did not finish I'll guide you how to recover it, since restarting libvirtd would make libvirt clear the block job busy flag, but libvirt would lose the metadata.
