Hi Marcus,

It happens randomly, mounting fails, and then / gets filled. I suspect this
occurs when the mounting fails, any files which is supposed to be
transferred to the mount point (e.g. templates used to create VMs) will
fill-up the / partition of the KVM host instead. This doesn't happen in
4.1.1, this only happens after we upgraded to 4.2.0.

And how about virsh pool-list result which is not reflecting the actual IDs
of the secondary storage we see from Cloudstack GUI, is it supposed to be
the case? If not, how to rectify it?

Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

Cheers.
