[ovirt-users] Snapshot deletion gone horribly wrong - Urgent

2014-11-01 Thread Stefan Wendler
Hi,

I'm trying to delete a 1TB snapshot on a store with 1.5TB free space.
should be more than enough and the engine didn't complain.
The snapshot to delete is the only snapshot for this VM.

I started snapshot deletion a couple of hours ago. ovirt then started
filling up the store. I'm sure it happened because of the snapshot
deletion. I have seen this many times when deleting snapshots.
Now I have a couple of KBytes left on the store and the snapshot is
marked as broken. And I cannot delete the snapshot because of not enough
free space. Is there a way to alter the database and then delete the
snapshot files by hand?

I know the files that are the snapshots and could delete them but then
the vm wouldn't start because it is missing the files.

Cheers,
Stefan

After exporting some unused VMs and deleting other snapshots afterwards
I'm back to 500GB. But the partially deleted 1TB Snapshot is still there
and needs to be cleaned up.

Is there a clean way to cleanup partially deleted/migrated snapshots
without loosing more disk space? What I don't understand is what is
there to migrate, if it is the last snapshot anyway? Shouldn't the
Actual VM-disks be in a consistent state with or without the
snapshots? Or asked another way ... are there documents with an in-depth
description on how snapshots work in oVirt?

Cheers,
Stefan
