Could be a misbehavior in AUFS?
Maybe - can you give me a hint how to track it down? Is there any control over writeback from outside NFS?
I confess I'm not familiar with AUFS; 2.6.35 doesn't list anything called AUFS in the File Systems menu, but I could be missing something.
It is a kernel patch maintained by Junjiro R. Okajima. It was rejected in favor of promised UnionMount, which is neglected for years now. Mr Okajima very actively maintaines the patches. Ubuntu live DVDs utilize AUFS, writing changes to tmpfs or a partition on USB stick.
This machine runs always into this error on startup, after installing Fedora 389 directory server.I'm a little confused by this. Do you mean the BUG pops just after "service dirsrv start" during the guest's boot-up sequence?
Right, and it fails.
We have seen this error also when memory was low, but this VM has plenty memory free.When memory is low, the VM is more likely to drive writebacks, so that could make this error occur more frequently. But low memory is not the only reason to drive a writeback.top: Tasks: 56 total, 1 running, 55 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.4%us, 1.4%sy, 0.0%ni, 96.9%id, 1.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.2%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2058768k total, 661556k used, 1397212k free, 157792k buffers Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 87844k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1 root 20 0 19284 1428 1160 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.39 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ksoftirqd/0 4 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 5 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 events/0 6 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 cpuset 7 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 khelper 12 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 async/mgr 139 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 sync_supers 141 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 bdi-default 143 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.09 kblockd/0 145 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kacpid 146 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kacpi_notify 147 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kacpi_hotplug 219 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khubd 222 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kseriod 246 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.19 rpciod/0 247 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kvm-irqfd-clean 266 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kswapd0 267 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 aio/0 268 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.05 nfsiod 270 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 aufsd/0 271 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.03 aufsd_pre/0 272 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 crypto/0 460 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kpsmoused 466 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 usbhid_resumer 932 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 jbd2/vda1-8 933 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ext4-dio-unwrit 1061 root 16 -4 11004 1056 320 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.02 udevd 1837 root 20 0 9084 596 124 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 dhclient 1966 root 20 0 238m 1420 852 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.04 rsyslogd 1995 rpc 20 0 18916 856 612 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.02 rpcbind 2025 rpcuser 20 0 23084 1128 844 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 rpc.statd 2146 root 20 0 185m 3484 1572 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.03 httpd.worker 2149 root 20 0 185m 2280 368 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 httpd.worker 2150 LDAP 20 0 777m 3804 1168 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 httpd.worker 2227 dbus 20 0 21464 908 624 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 dbus-daemon -------------------------------------------------------- cat /proc/mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 /dev/vda1 /dev/ro ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 aufs / aufs rw,sync,noatime,si=92ba86936973eb7c 0 0 192.168.255.1:/dev/servers /dev/servers nfs rw,sync,noatime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,namlen=255,hard,nolock,proto=udp,timeo=11,retrans=20,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.255.1,mountvers=3,mountport=49222,mountproto=udp,addr=192.168.255.1 0 0 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,relatime 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw,relatime 0 0 -------------------------------------------------------- We are ready create VMs for testing.
