I started to restore a VM from a file on my fileserver. I got this far, then nothing for 90 minutes (at time of writing):
The task is still "running", and the whole thing seems to be just sitting there.
I need to restore this machine. Should I kill it and try again? Is there anywhere I can go for a better error message or more status? Or is this just expected?
UPDATE: It was in fact frozen. Restoring directly from a NAS doesn't work very well. I copied it to local, then had to reboot to get the system to work, but it eventually restored.
