[libvirt-users] domain still running although snapshot-file is deleted !?!

Hi, i have a strange situation: A domain is still running where domblklist points to a snapshot file and also dumpxml says the current drive is that snapshot file. But the file has been deleted hours ago. And the domain is still running. I can login via ssh, the database and the webserver are still running, domain is performant. How can that be ? Also lsof shows that the file is deleted: qemu-syst 27007 qemu 15ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) qemu-syst 27007 qemu 16ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) qemu-syst 27007 27288 qemu 15ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) qemu-syst 27007 27288 qemu 16ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) CPU\x200/ 27007 27308 qemu 15ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) CPU\x200/ 27007 27308 qemu 16ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) CPU\x201/ 27007 27309 qemu 15ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) CPU\x201/ 27007 27309 qemu 16ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) vnc_worke 27007 27321 qemu 15ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) vnc_worke 27007 27321 qemu 16ur REG 254,14 335609856 183599 /mnt/snap/sim.sn (deleted) Bernd -- Bernd Lentes Systemadministration Institut für Entwicklungsgenetik Gebäude 35.34 - Raum 208 HelmholtzZentrum münchen bernd.lentes(a)helmholtz-muenchen.de phone: +49 89 3187 1241 phone: +49 89 3187 3827 fax: +49 89 3187 2294 http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/idg wer Fehler macht kann etwas lernen wer nichts macht kann auch nichts lernen Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Gesundheit und Umwelt (GmbH) Ingolstaedter Landstr. 1 85764 Neuherberg www.helmholtz-muenchen.de Stellv.
