Hi Cinder + Nova Teams.

Live migrating between two storage backends, most VM’s move successfully, but we’re seeing several VM’s fail the retype with the following error:
https://gist.github.com/inventionlabsSydney/137121e8a4772ea3562776c10f43371a

Libvirt logs show the following:
2025-06-26 06:55:48.906+0000: 2509009: error : qemuDomainBlockJobAbort:13723 : invalid argument: disk sda does not have an active block job

Has anyone else encountered similar to this, we cannot seem to find any difference between VM’s that are working and VM’s that fail this retype.
