I have a single VM (of 11) that has a recurring problem. This image has
moved from machine to machine, with the problem following it. This image
has been rebuilt from scratch, and the problem recurred. It would appear
that there is something in the behaviour of this VM which causes it to crash
and causes Xend to become unhappy.
The problem presents as:
Domain crashes, becomes zombie.
xm destroy will not destroy the zombie.
xm create will not start it or any other domain (Hotplug Scripts not
working)
The only solution appears to be a reboot of the host machine. Stopping and
restarting xend/xendomains does not solve the problem.
This particular VM is our continuous build system. It is building code
pretty much all day long, and does very heavy NFS ops.
The host machine is using Xen 3.0.2 running on FC5 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5xen0
(using the yum packages). The guest OS is FC4 with 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5xenU
The problem only presents itself on this VM. It is actually an identical
copy to the other 11 VMs, all of which are development boxes using NFS. The
issue appears to occur only due to the volume of work the problem image
does.
One of the bits of help I need is in knowing where to get the information
necessary to solve the problem.
I've attached the bit of the xend.log that involves the crash and subsequent
failed restarts.
