I haven't done any snapshotting on this machine. This problem is pretty easy to reproduce, I spawn about five new virtual machines and begin installing Windows XP on them. The host machine obviously slows down quite a bit but the hard drive chatters throughout the process. The next day I wipe those five machines, spawn five new ones, and begin the concurrent installations again. This time I see the IO spurts that I described in my first email; that is, drive thrashes for a while, then hangs for a couple minutes... repeat until host reboot. -- -=[dave]=- Entropy isn't what it used to be. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
