I'll post them all: - UMTS-clone: this one works fine since it was created a weak ago - belle: this one was fine but suddenly also showed the problem - mauer: the problem one 112 4819 1 4 Jul30 ? 03:29:39 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.1 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name UMTS-clone -uuid e49502f1-0c74-2a60-99dc-7602da5ee640 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/UMTS-clone.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/dev/VGNEO/LV_V_UMTS-clone,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=writeback -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/home/folkert/ISOs/wheezy.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=20,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=21 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:09:3b:b6,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0,password -vga cirrus -device usb-host,hostbus=6,hostaddr=5,id=hostdev0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 112 10065 1 11 Jul30 ? 07:46:16 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.1 -enable-kvm -m 8192 -smp 12,sockets=12,cores=1,threads=1 -name belle -uuid 16b704d7-5fbd-d67b-71e6-0d6b43f1bc0a -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/belle.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/dev/VGNEO/LV_V_BELLE,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/dev/VGNEO/LV_V_BELLE_OS,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw,cache=writeback -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -drive file=/dev/VGJOURNAL/LV_J_BELLE,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw,cache=writeback -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw,cache=none -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=26,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=27 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:75:4a:6f,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -netdev tap,fd=28,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,vhostfd=29 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:00:0a:6e:de,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:1,password -vga cirrus -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 root 13116 12830 0 19:54 pts/8 00:00:00 grep qemu 112 23453 1 57 13:16 ? 03:46:51 /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.1 -enable-kvm -m 8192 -smp 8,maxcpus=12,sockets=12,cores=1,threads=1 -name mauer -uuid 3a8452e6-81af-b185-63b6-2b32be17ed87 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/mauer.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/dev/VGNEO/LV_V_MAUER,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=writeback -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive file=/dev/VGJOURNAL/LV_J_MAUER,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw,cache=writethrough -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0xa,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=26,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=27 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:86:d9:1f,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -netdev tap,fd=28,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,vhostfd=29 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:00:a3:12:8a,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -netdev tap,fd=30,id=hostnet2,vhost=on,vhostfd=31 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet2,id=net2,mac=52:54:00:0f:54:c2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 127.0.0.1:2,password -vga cirrus -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9 Note that everything is managed via virt-manager. > Please confirm that vhost_net is being used on the host (lsmod | grep > vhost_net).

I have to get back at this: I see messages about topology changes in the host but I forgot to check then if they were there when the problem started. I *think* they appeared after I rebooted the guests but I'm not entirely sure. So let's wait on that. That are the only messages appart from devices going into promiscues mode when I start tcpdump.
