> Did you ever had troubles with virtio drivers? I have a pfSense guest that runs fine with all virtio drivers (lan,storage) but you might want to switch back to IDE just to see if your virtio storage driver is causing the issue.
Your xml file looks very much like a pfSense guest I have running on Ubuntu 12.04, except mine has these differences: <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.14'>hvm</type> (I've had problems with some OSes with the wrong 'machine' type) <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> (I use files because I don't have a need to dedicate a disk, and pfSense uses very little drive space. Also makes it easy to back up the guest by copying the file) Speaking of drives, do you have a way to read the SMART values from the hard drives on your raid controller? Drives can fail slowly, but to know you have to read the following SMART values: Reallocated sector count Current Pending sector count Uncorrectable sector count GSense error rate (if the drive has experienced a shock while running. More likely on laptops) Also, when you're seeing weird problems, booting and running memtest86 on the host for several passes will test the systems RAM. Best to let it run 4 or 5 passes, or even letting it run overnight if possible. _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
