I haven't met anyone yet who had ever seen something like that before.
Guess it's time to change the hardware and see what happens then.

Thanks,

Hello

and thank You for the answer. Has anyone of You tried to limit i/o on
the VMs?

I have about 40 containers and when the i/o gets too high, the host
will crash with this error:
[23959.739698] sd 4:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
5    [23959.771158] Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 40259

This is not a support request! I am just referring why i would like to
limit the disks i/o.

I think that IO error is a real problem that you should try to solve,
rather than work around it by rate-limiting IO.

Hello!

Will disk i/o limiting be added in any future versions? I see it in
the 4.0 feature requests, but not in any changelogs.

I think the hope is that we can use the generic Linux mechanisms for
this rather than having to add anything Xen-specific.
