Move of large file on OVM Linux guest hangs
OVMM 3.4.2
Oracle VM Manager
Version: 3.4.2.1398
Build: 20170615_1398
Guest:
Oracle Linux 7.6
Guest Domain Type: Xen HVM PV Drivers
Size of file being moved: 58G
When we attempt to move a 58G file from one file system on a Linux guest VM to another, the command hangs and the target filesystem is then inaccessible. The mv process cannot be killed with kill -9. Only a reboot kills the hung process. We have attempted this multiple times with the same result.
The origin and destination file systems are LVMs in different volume groups and on different OVM repositories. The repositories are NFS shares on ZS5-2 ZFSSAs.
