I saw stuff like this happening starting with later 2.6.20 kernels that wasn't fixed until the 2.6.24 kernels. (See bug 235043.) I wasn't using VM's, so it might not be the same as the bug you are seeing. I do remember seeing some other similar problems people were having that didn't appear to be the same bug as I had when I did bugzilla searches. So you might want to do your own bugzilla search to see what you can find. I have also been getting disk IO lockups in F10, but in a more limited set of circumstances. (Memory pressure on an X86_64 system.) _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
