Hello,

I have changed the entire dedicated server, new cpu, motherboard ram and harddrives are brand spanking new. I thought I had a hardware error but this is something else releated to the KVM itself.

I have updated to the latest proxmox version 3.4-11

The problem is that my KVM machine all of the sudden started to crash, it throws out "journal commit I/O error"
and then the filesystem is locked to read only mode.

I have tested to run it with cache: none/default, writethrough and write back.

Everytime it crashes witch it does often I have to go into fsck on the KVM and fix brokes nodes and similar before reboot again.
I am totally lost, could you please tell me what could possibly be wrong?

The load is not high. I have a max load of 1-2mb/sec on the harddrives and the CPU is running almost at idle (10%).

This started last thursday and it seems to be accelerating. Also it seems like when the mysql starts to load a bit harder that is when it crashes, but as I said the total load on the server is very low and usually below 10%.

Your help would be much appreciated.
 
hi,
what is your server model, and disk controller ?
do you use kerel 2.6.32 or 3.10 ?

what is your vm config . (can post the /etc/pve/qemu-server/vmid.conf ?)

inside the guest, what is the distro, kernel version. Do you have disable barrier on the disk ?
