Problem identified, a fix is expected shortly. = Important = == kvm == https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478317 almost 9 thousand syscalls per second while idle This is believed to be a result of the USB Tablet device, but several users have noticed high host CPU usage while guests were idle. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544339 Segfaults logged from kvm (qemu-kvm) resulting in guest sudden crash and data loss A number of users complaining of guests crashing and sometimes taking the host with them. This appears to be related to sound emulation. Feedback suggests that this is no longer an issue in the 0.12.x qemu packages. These packages are available in F-12 updates-testing will be updates to F-12 soon. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544940 reattach virtio to rhel{5,6} guests will cause qemu-kvm crash _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
