FreeBSD VM with HD write errors, no errors on Proxmox drive

[Phil Freeman]

Hi all,

I've got a weird one. I've got a FreeBSD VM with several virtio drives. The FreeBSD OS drive is throwing lots of write errors that you'd normally see if your hard drive was going bad, and eventually locks up so I have to stop and reboot the VM. I'm not getting any HD errors on the proxmox host, or other VM's that use the same lvm so I assume the hard drive is fine.

Errors:

Aug 5 09:54:47 alb2samba kernel: vtbd0: hard error cmd=write 7891298-7891553
Aug 5 09:54:47 alb2samba kernel: g_vfs_done():vtbd0p2[WRITE(offset=4039802880, length=131072)]error = 5
Aug 5 09:54:47 alb2samba kernel: vtbd0: hard error cmd=write 7891554-7891809
Aug 5 09:54:47 alb2samba kernel: g_vfs_done():vtbd0p2[WRITE(offset=4039933952, length=131072)]error = 5

What would you recommend I try? If I clone the VM will I have the same write issue?

Here is the vm config, and virtio0 is the bad drive, and it's set up with Default (no cache). I have other VM's using local-lvm for drives and there are no issues.

Thanks for any help and guidance.

Have you been able to solve this already? If you have the space you can try cloning, but I guess the problem would persist. Can you check the file system within your VM?
