Hello,

i have configured bandwith limit as following
https://puu.sh/K9bwD/c30dcffdeb.png

but when i clone a local vm the disk IO goes crazy and several vm's become stuck.

in the task logs i noticed the following for a migration to Another host:
Code:
2024-06-11 12:21:12 scsi0: start migration to nbd:unix:/run/qemu-server/109_nbd.migrate:exportname=drive-scsi0drive mirror is starting for drive-scsi0 with bandwidth limit: 102400 KB/s
this is fine.
however if i do a local clone i see this:
Code:
create full clone of drive ide2 (local-lvm09:vm-304-cloudinit)  Logical volume "vm-112-cloudinit" created.create full clone of drive scsi0 (local-lvm09:vm-304-disk-0)  Logical volume "vm-112-disk-0" created.transferred 0.0 B of 210.0 GiB (0.00%)

it Seems to me that it is not taking into account the configured bandwith limit.
i am pretty new to proxmox so please elaborate if i am missing something here.

Kind regards.
 
Hi,
can you check the output of ps aux | grep qemu-img after you start the clone operation, or if you aborted the clone task, the qemu-img command might be part of the error message.
