Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Steps to reproduce:
- Use qemu-img convert to convert an image. e.g. a large (40GB) raw file to a
compressed qcow2 image
- Watch the load rise
- kernel messages will be like "INFO: task blocked for more than 120 seconds".
(Also see below)
In some cases this will bring down the server. When running libvirt too, all
virtual servers will timeout/crash.
Using ionice to renice qemu-img convert does not really prevent the issue.
