https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89621 --- Comment #6 from John Hughes <john@xxxxxxxxx> --- Could you give me a clue about what exactlt I should do for a "quick blktrace", what should I look for? As for crashes and so on: case #1, I found my guest machine "cedric" dead on 3 Dec, root filesystem read-only. I ran fsck manualy and after reboot the log shows: Dec 3 11:04:26 cedric kernel: [ 1.440438] EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem Dec 3 11:04:26 cedric kernel: [ 1.468114] EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) Dec 3 11:04:26 cedric kernel: [ 6.139705] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted. Opts: (null) Dec 3 11:04:26 cedric kernel: [ 6.311768] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted.

Case #2, a filesystem went read-only on my guest machine "olympic" while the cyrus imap "squatter" was indexing all the messages.
