Oh you can read it in the bug thread, but I forgot to mention, if you put
in your nova.conf under the libvirt section mem_stats_period_seconds = 0,
and restart nova on the destination (although i'd say just do it on both)
it will no longer hit the bug. I tested this a couple weeks back with
success.
