Around that time, thanks to home-made monitoring:

So, for some reason, running the test suite on current feature/stretch requires more disk space (and probably more RAM).
I’ll investigate why (it might be caused by the changes I did for Feature #12055).

The failure is caused by lacking disk space to save snapshots.

#3 Updated by intrigeri 2016-12-27 11:47:00

Given the isotesters 1 more GB of RAM and tmpfs, we’ll see.

It seems the memory bump fixed the “domain save job” operation:

There’s still another Libvirt::Error issues remaining but that is for Bug #12067 AFAICT so I think this ticket can be closed.
