Hey guys,

I'm running a two node cluster with Proxmox VE 9.1.7. Sometimes when I try to migrate a linux test VM, the migration fails with the following errors:

PVE02 22:17:12 QEMU[1875101]: aio_co_schedule: Co-routine was already scheduled in 'aio_co_schedule'
PVE01 22:17:12 QEMU[1689790]: kvm: check_section_footer: Read section footer failed: -5
PVE01 22:17:12 QEMU[1689790]: kvm: load of migration failed: Invalid argument

The error occurs from both hosts as source and target.

Hi!

Could you provide the migrated VMs config where this does happen? Which storages/filesystems are the disks stored on?
