Hi all,

 

i use XCP 0.5 with a nfs storage repository and normally i do daily snapshots from all VMs i have,  as follow:

 

1) create snapshot
2) export snapshot to file
3) delete snapshot

 

 

One day I get the VM  error "Snapshot chain is too long". I notice however that this appears to only VM's with more than 1 attached virtual disk. In my case I have a couple VM's with 2 disks, and there were many orphaned copies of only 1 of the 2 disks. >From OpenXenManager  is not possible to delete this snapshot..

 

I read a problem like this on Xencenter forum

and the solution is on

Does someone know how to fix this bug on XCP 0.5 ?

 

Regards,

 

Simone Cariani
