[PVE-User] disk error messages on kvm guest

[Meike Stone]

Hello,

I've running proxmox (1.9) on a notebook* and I'm very satisfied!

* AMD Athlon(tm) II P360 Dual-Core Processor
* SATA controller:    SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
(ATITechnologies Inc)
* Disk: Seagate ST9320325AS,  320GB  (ATA )
* 4GByte RAM (1333MHz)
(Are there more information needed, please tell it me. )

Yesterday I tried to import a backup from OpenLDAP via slapadd running
on a openSuSE 11.3  Guest (kvm).
(Kernel: Linux test01 2.6.34.8-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-06
18:11:26 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

During this import, I got following message in the syslog from the
guest and the guest system was temporary hanging:
