What causes a panic here ? This just sounds like a I/O schedular issue in the end. The storage can't cope with the huge data sizes and the kernel is not fairly giving time to other processes. Surely the answer here is to tune the kernel params to improve I/O fairness Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
