Re: [Qemu-devel] nbd: Possible regression in 2.9 RCs

Sorry, I think this one is more likely the cause, it's about migration:

I suspect the culprit here is [1]. I've started a git bisect between this 
commit and v2.8.0 and during this time I found similar erros 
"/root/qemu/nbd/server.c:nbd_receive_request():L706: read failed"

I suspect this fix tried to solve a bunch of these read fails, but broke write 
requests.

Hello,

Similar to the other thread about possible regression with rbd, there might be 
a regression with nbd.
This time we are launching an instance from an image (not volume) and try to 
live migrate it:

nova live-migration <test_instance>

The nova-compute service complains with:

I will try and bisect it myself, but I thought I would paste this here first, 
just so you know there is this issue too.
