Created attachment 569695 [details] logs Description of problem: currently, when running any command that requires change in metadata we lock the whole domain and not just the metadata. this means that if I am running a task which takes a long time I will get a lock timeout from vdsm (as described in bug 802806) can we change the lock from domain to metadata? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vdsm-4.9-112.8.el6_2.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. import vm's /templates to your setup 2. try to edit domain's name 3. Actual results: after a few minutes we get a resource time out error from vdsm Expected results: we should only lock metadata of domain and not whole domain - that way, if we have a long task (such as import of vm with large preallocated disk) changes to metadata of domain can be performed.
