Hello
Since we have updatet from ESXi 4.1 to Update 1 we have problems with taking quiesced snapshot. Before we have installed the update 1 quiesced snapshot worked witout problems.
When we take a quiesced snapshot, Windows 2008 R2 mount a new volumes and remove them after the snapshot is taken.

When we remove the snapshot the vm freeze for about 30second (no Ping no RDP)
Have anyone the same issue?
I have try to install a new clean server 2008 r2 but have the same problem.
Best Regards
