Hello, sorry for last incomplete email (if it arrives), i hit some send button by accident. Last week we have started to have problems with one virtual machine running debian jessie, with kernel 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4. virtualization is done on vmware 5.5 on dell r610, disks are on perc h700. XFS is on data disk (/dev/mapper/vgDisk2-lvData) running cyrus, mysql, apache+php. It resides on single disk LVM, without partitions. #pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda2 vgDisk1 lvm2 a-- 15.76g 0 /dev/sdb vgDisk2 lvm2 a-- 410.00g 0 #lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert lvSwap vgDisk1 -wi-ao---- 1.86g lvSystem vgDisk1 -wi-ao---- 13.90g lvData vgDisk2 -wi-ao---- 410.00g #grep xfs /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/vgDisk2-lvData /mountpoint xfs noatime,logbufs=8 0 1 It was created in Debian Squeeze on kernel 2.6.32 OR Wheezy on 3.2.0.
