Bug Description
I have a virtual KVM machine that has 2 CDROM units with ISOs mounted from a NFS mount point. When NFS server goes offline the virtual machine blocks completely instead of throwing read errors for the CDROM device.
Host: Proxmox VE 1.8-11 (Debian GNU/Linux 5.0)
KVM commandline version: QEMU emulator version 0.14.1 (qemu-kvm-devel)
Guest: Windows 7 professional SP 1
Changed in qemu: | |
status: | New → Confirmed |

Thanks for reporting this. There are instances where QEMU performs
blocking operations in a thread that will prevent the guest from
running. I suspect you are hitting this case and refactoring work
needs to be done to ensure that QEMU threads never block.
