Hi,

TASK ERROR: migration problems



The problem is in QemuMigrate.pm,
in phase3 cleanup


    die "Failed to move config to node '$self->{node}' - rename failed: $!\n"
        if !rename($conffile, $newconffile);

    if ($self->{livemigration}) {
        # now that config file is move, we can resume vm on target if livemigrate
        my $cmd = [@{$self->{rem_ssh}}, 'qm', 'resume', $vmid, '--skiplock'];
        eval{ PVE::Tools::run_command($cmd, outfunc => sub {},
                errfunc => sub {
                    my $line = shift;
                    $self->log('err', $line);
                });
        };
        if (my $err = $@) {
            $self->log('err', $err);
            $self->{errors} = 1;
        }
    }



The move file is done on source node, 
but the target node don't see the moved file until around 3s, so the resume is dying.


I don't known how HA is related here ? maybe some kind of file lock ?
