Hi Fariborz,

This does not look like a Cloudstack issue, assuming this is a compute host and 
storage is somewhere else, why don’t you reinstall it to a stock version of the 
linux distro you are running and try again?

Thanks,
Boris.

Subject: URGENT: KVM Host freezes even in emergency mode

Hi Everbody

I have a very odd issue on the KVm host where both agent and management is
installed.

Recently I have tried to mirror outbound smtp traffic from a test vm to IFB
device to analyze it using zeek for spam filtering. I did the mirroring
using tc filters. Everything was working before I added a custom libvirt
hook inside */etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu.d* and restarted libvirtd service to
add tc filter rule to any new VM being created.

Once I restarted libvirtd host freezed and afterwards everytime host boots
it freezes not accepting any input even in emergency mode. When I enter
emergency mode, it only allows me a few seconds to issue a command and then
freezes. This happens even if I mask NetworkManager, libvirtd and
cloudstack-agent during boot to disable any service that cause system freeze

I have reverted back everything but still kernel freezes

As I needed to analyze existing smtp traffic I needed to do on the
production server but everything is down.

Please help!

Best Regards
