Cannot clone CON-FS01: Operation timed out

Hi all,

I'm trying to clone a VM in vCenter. After a while clone task fails with error "Cannot clone <VM name>: Operation timed out" and after a short interval "Virtual machine <VM name> disk consolidation failed".

In vpxd.log around the time when the task fails I have:

2014-09-22T22:50:16.525+02:00 [04204 warning 'commonvpxLro'] [VpxLRO] Timeout waiting on updates for task-14221

And around the time when disk consolidation failed I have:
