[PVE-User] Moving disk to a new storage - VM Reboot

[Kevin Lemonnier]

I think the VM is not even rebooting, it looks like it just shuts down
then the HA boots it. Unfortunatly it's not a clean shut down, it just stops
right away as if the process was killed or something.

The images are all qcows, no snapshots, most of them with no cache but some
configured in directsync mode, doesn't seem to affect the result. Almost everytime
it stops then reboots, but once or twice I've seen a move complete without a reboot.

And if that matters the VMs are all Linux (Debian 8) with no agent installed. I can
install the agent if that helps though.
