VXE3150 ping lost during vmware commit on very small VMs
Hi,
i have a Vmware enviroment connected to NFS shares. Even taking/committing a snapshot of a very small VM with virtually no changes (delta), the process of committing takes 10-15 seconds, which is not accecpatble.
I have read the ACK could cause the problem, is it possible to disable that?
thanks
Nick

We have found the problem,documented here:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1031106
basically on ESX 4 there is a bug where the lock files on the nfs datastores lock down the VM, that hangs. Resolution:
Upgrade to 4.1 OR
Disable Change block tracking on the VM.
