Hello,
I have several VMs on Proxmox showing Status: io-error.
I thought the io-error might have been the VM server, however now that several VMs have the same io-error, could it be Proxmox?
Or maybe a faulty hard drive? The hard drive is new.
Any way of testing to find what the error is?

Hi,
yes look in the logs (syslog/messages) and see what output you get if you see your storage-config:
Code:
pvs
vgs
lvs
dmsetup ls --tree
mount
any stale nfs-mounts?

Hi all.

Udo, maybe his error is the same of my error with this new kernel XXXXXX-30.

After upgrade to version 3.2, my messages is the same "io-error" on the VMs and the other error messages on the main server.

I have not tested to rollback the old kernel. (need to get time to do it in the next weekend), but when I do the tests, Ill post a reply on the topic: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/18990-Help-to-Downgrade-3-2-to-3-1-Problems-after-update
 
Thanks for the command tips.
Here is the output:

Not sure what it all means yet. I'm buying a new hard drive and will reinstall Proxmox and the 3 VMs tonight, tomorrow or the weekend when I have time if this io-error can't be fixed.
