Thanks Patrick,
I unfortunately haven't found anything in there which I'd have lacked in my try to recreate :-/

Btw: I think this should be $i and not mail, although if guests are all the same it doesn't matter
"IMAGE_DIR=`virsh domblklist mail" -> "IMAGE_DIR=`virsh domblklist $i"

What is the ammount of Data you sync each time - maybe this is far bigger in your than in my case.
Do you happen to know how much that is? I mean we only talk about the I/O that sums up while you do backup, how long is that - a few minutes, should not be too much right?

If you end up trying the newer libvirt let me know if that solves your issue at least.
There would also be a way in between - I have a ppa where we tried to backport some of the blockjob changes here:

Chances are that this might affect you, yet OTOH since this is your production system I'd not use it as it is experimental. That said while I fail to reproduce, do you have a test env where this triggers as well and that you could use to try such experimental libvirt packages?
