Hi,
I'm in a difficult situation with our Proxmox deployment.
Kernel 2.6.24 is stable, but shows horrible disk I/O performance. When I say horrible, I mean a chmod -R of a a few GB in a VE will make the rest of the system grind to a halt, to the point the DNS server (in a different container) will stop responding queries, etc.
rsyncs take ages, and backup operations are a no-go right now because they would basically kill every other service (email, dns, ldap, samba...) in the different VEs.
This is relatively new hardware, so I guess it's just a SATA driver not working correctly in this kernel version, something that I think 2.6.32 most probably would fix. However, 2.6.32 dies a few minutes after booting (4 or 5 minutes max.), but I'm not sure if it's related to network as others are reporting.
I'm attaching a photograph of what was readable on the server's screen after the crash.
This is a summary of the hosts' hardware, if it can give a clue for the 2.6.24 or 2.6.32 problems. Any tip is welcome, because the situation is getting worse by the day.
