another dmesg:
Hans,

The oopses below point to the possibility of a hardware problem, similar to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480779

Can you please rule it out with memtest86?
I ran memtest for 11 hours and it completed 4.7 passes with no problems.
But then memtest is about cpu and memmory interaction. If the problem is disk related there is also disk/chipset/dma and memmory interaction. I could degrade my system by turning dma on disk io off, or i could have a closer look at kvm-autotest.

Hans:

There is a memory test designed to stress disk/chipset/dma interaction.
I made an implementation of it on autotest, the test module is called
dma_memtest:

Well that looks good. The web page talks about forcing the system to swap. That never happend swap usage is still 0 bytes. I installed autotest on the same lv (3 disk stripe) as the vmdisks.
