I have done a power failure simulation.

The running VM (KVM Virtio RAW) will not boot anymore and i suppose the VM file is corrupted.
Is there a tool for fixing this?
 
you have non BBU protected raid and/or you have the hdd cache enabled? so you lost data due to power failure.
 
i have now tested with KVM on IDE and after power failure the VM was still ok

did a new test, now running bonnie++ for huge I/O and power failure on it, vm still ok after reboot

i suppose virthio is very experimental and IDE is the better choice?
 
ide is the most stable. but virtio can better performance on some guests, especially Linux guests. lets test again when the release a new kvm package.
 
(sorry to hijack) - do you know when that release is expected both in mainstream and in proxmox?
