Extraordinary delay in creating OpenVZ VMs (normal templates complete in 13 to 18 seconds on good PVE 1.9x and in 35 seconds to 6 minutes variable on unacceptable ones). On identical hardware running same PVE 1.9 - 2TB WD Green Cavair (Good one was also a Seagate 2TB) XEON E1200 series:
Good ones running 7 OpenVZ VMs and 3 KVMs:
Bad ones running no containers (or 1 OpenVZ container):
For exactly the same (2 x 8GB ECC Kingston) RAM, the dmidecode -t 17 command yielded 128 total bits for the bad one and 72 bits for the good one.
