Hello folks

I have the following system
2.6.32-4-pve fresh from the installdisk.

For a
few weeks ago i installed the new Proxmox VE on my server. Before I installed the new Proxmox, I saved all VMs with vzdump to an external hard drive. After recovery the system worked really fine.

For about 10 Days the Harddrive of the server read and write permanently. I can't say why!
It stopped when I stopped VMs, but always with a different VM ID. Also i could not identify the bad service on iotop :( . If you wait longer you have to reset the server.

Then i saw on the Screen of the server an kernelmessage.
I hope you can help me with this this problem.

what about 2.6.18? with stable openVZ.
 
Would you recommend to use two servers? One for OpenVZ with 2.6.18 and one for KVM with 2.6.32?
 
KVM in 2.6.18 is also very good (more or less the same as you can find in RHEL 5.5/CentOS 5.5).
