I realize this falls under the category of "so incredibly vague I should maybe not send it", so I have low expectations and apologize beforehand if it's just pure noise. That being said - it appears that the whole HOST system becomes laggy. It can effect the mouse, the keyboard, the network. There are no messages in the logs that I can find that indicate the system is blocked or hung or dumping core - and frankly I just don't know where to start troubleshooting something like this when there's absolutely no indication in the logs that things are struggling. What I DO know about the symptoms: 1. happen after an indeterminate period of time 2. continue even if I shutdown libvirtd and the two guests - a reboot is REQUIRED 3. do NOT occur if I leave libvirtd disabled and NEVER start it Which, on review, seems it might have something to do with the KVM kernel module - so I'm copying that mailing list as well. root@eanna i ~ # pacman -Qi linux Name : linux Version : 3.18.6-1 Description : The Linux kernel and modules Architecture : x86_64 ...
