OK,

I updated both userspace and kernel module to kvm-79.
Now migration begins, but:
- On the source node, the command does not returns and an strace shows
that it does nothing (wait4(9709, )
- On the destination node, I can connect threw the VNC display, but
there seams to have a strange issue with I/O (lot of messages on
console; sd 0:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device). FYI my VM disk is
a DRBD over LVM as dual primary.
- From another PC, I lose a few pings during migration.

Are my I/0 errors comes from my backend storage (DRBD) ?
