VM, missing disk

Anonabhar

@MRisberg Just wondering.. Where is the lock file? I might try that in the future for myself..

@Anonabhar Lock file should be at the root of the SR mount directory.

For me it was here:
On my (only) host: /run/sr-mount/35ecc7ae-4e98-58c1-5ed3-2c22c649bd32
(where 35ecc etc is one of my SRs)

There was a file named coalesce_ followed by a VDI UUID.

I moved this file out of the directory, rather than deleting it .. moving slowly.

After export and import I can actually see a reference to both drives. Although they seem to be disconnected.

I'll see what I can do about it.

@MRisberg That's normal behavior when the VM isn't running.

Thanks, yes of course. I got excited about fixing my problems and reported too early

Well, the VM has been working fine since the export / import. I can see both drives.

Although the VM running fine, since the last post I had to address two related VDIs that had been connected to the Control Domain. One being million_D and the other million_D (with a camera icon). These probably ended up here because of a aborted / faulty snapshot or backup. I disconnected them .. checked a few things ... and then forgot them. Everything is running fine now.

For future googlers: During the problem solving, I found out some pretty helpful info using tail -f /var/log/SMlog.

To me, this issue is solved. Thank you all for the feedback.
