Actually the 3.10 from CentOS 7 has a lot of things backported, for instance it supports XFS with crc metadata which was introduced in 3.16. However in the recent year I've never met any reason NOT to use a recent LTS kernel (like a 4.9 or 4.14). I don't really understand why RedHat sticks to these absurdly old kernel releases as a basis (and taking the pain of backporting stuff for years and years). > > Also, this is more a guess than anything.

Hard to say, what KVM disk format are you using? Raw, qcow2, LVM volumes? If these are files (raw or qcow2), what kind of filesystem and hardware stack are they living on? Are there any error on the hosting system? At tne VM level, do you see any IO error? Are you using the virtio disk driver or something else? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emmanuel Florac | Direction technique | Intellique | <eflorac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | +33 1 78 94 84 02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
