There is a possibility that the drive-mirror job is not yet done when
the migration wants to inactivate the source's blockdrives:

> failed.

This can be prevented by using the 'write-blocking' copy mode (also
called active mode) for the mirror. However, with active mode, the
guest write speed is limited by the synchronous writes to the mirror
target. For this reason, a way to start out in the faster 'background'
mode and later switch to active mode was introduced in QEMU 8.2.

The switch is done once the mirror job for all drives is ready to be
completed to reduce the time spent where guest IO is limited.

Reported rarely, but steadily over the years:
