Hello,<br>
<br>
I thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with me.<br>
<br>
My VMs got defined by virt-manager with<br>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/><br>
At first I'll give a try to Justin's configuration tweak and let you
know what happen if I change it to<br>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/><br>
<br>
I'm also really happy to know how to dynamically add or remove an iscsi
LUN from my server.<br>
<br>
Have a nice day.<br>
Gildas<br>

Another possible reason is caching by KVM. Check in the <disk> element
of the domain definition for one like:
<driver name='qemu' cache='none'/>
Without it, KVM defaults to 'writethrough' caching, which is not safe
for migration.

Gildas, are you ok to check this setting and let us know if it helps
you?
This one setting seems like it's what you might need, and could be
a simple fix. It *might* affect your virtual machine's performance
though. (not sure)
Phil's end-to-end configuration sounds really useful too, but a
bit more involved to adapt if there's an easy fix. :)
