[one-users] Ubuntu shutdown/image save

Thu May 17 12:50:26 PDT 2012

Hi,

What kind of Datastore is the image running from ?

depending on the TM driver you could try to "catch" the process on the
vmhost and see if it is getting stuck somehow or doing something weird, if
the oned is taking time to timeout you could maybe manage to see what is
happenning.
