@samuelolavo Hello,
It is indeed linked to QCOW2.
Is mixing VHD and QCOW2 VDIs on the same VM and on the same SR fully supported?
Yes, it's supposed to work.
Are there specific minimum versions of xapi, sm, blktap, or other storage components required for large QCOW2 VDIs?
Yes, but we would prefer for people to be uptodate, we have been fixing things.
But I don't think it's a problem for you at the moment.
make_chain_rw is necessary for the master to make the QCOW2 LV RW at the VDI activation time. So it's likely linked to this particular QCOW2.
make_chain_rw is executed on the master host and is logging in /var/log/SMlog, could you take a look at what it's erroring on?
