Hi everyone: I had a problem yesterday with a virtual machine and I was not very sure to whom I should report it so I much appreciate your opinion about it. I have a virtual machine that has a couple of CDROM drives attached with their ISO image each. The ISOs are read from a NFS mounted directory. Yesterady my NFS storage failed and I turned it off. When I did that the Guest machine got frozen, it seemed to me that it was blocked waiting for CDROM read. In a physical CDROM if a CD can not be read for a while it would give a read error and go on. Is this a QEMU bug ? A KVM bug ? An "expected" behaviour ?
