Package: linux-2.6 Severity: important Hi, when running a Debian system as VMware guest system one could get SCSI timeouts when there is massive workload on the host system. Since some kernel version these will get the filesystems remounted read-only, which probably makes sense for real hardware, but doesn't make sense for emulated hardware. Instead it should just wait a bit longer.
See http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/index.php?/archives/31-VMware-ESX-and-ext3-journal-aborts.html for some details and what needs to be changed in the kernel. Redhat and SuSE seem to have this change in their kernels already it seems and without that change it's impossible to run Debian as VMWare guest reliable.
