Move disk fails - mirroring error: mirroring job seem to have die

[BlueKloud]

When migration a disk from one local raid storage area to another local raid:

Proxmox 3.3-5
The disk is: local_storage:104/vm-104-disk-2.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=8192G

create full clone of drive virtio1 (local_storage:104/vm-104-disk-2.qcow2)
Formatting '/storage/proxmox/images/104/vm-104-disk-1.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=13194139533312 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='metadata' lazy_refcounts=off

Not sure why it is trying to create a 13TB drive for the move.

Upgraded to 3.4-3 and the same thing.

Currently trying with the VM powered down. Looks like it is going to error out again.

Hi,

Solution: Turn OFF the source VM and repeat, it will work.
