[Bug 1495834] [NEW] [VMware] Launching an instance with large image size crashes nova-compute

 

Public bug reported:

Created an image of size ~6.5GB.
Launching a new instance from this image crashes nova-compute.

I'm observing nova-compute node running out of memory.

This could probably be due to reading entire file stream in memory
without using proper chunk size.

This is from git source and not any distribution.
