Hi,
I am running the beta on a RHEL4 server. I am finding that after a undetermined period of time the root filesystem changes to read only and VM stops working.
dmesg|tail gives me the following message:
EXT3-fs error (device md0): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user
ext3_abort called.
EXT3-fs error (device md0): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user
ext3_abort called.
EXT3-fs error (device md0): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user
ext3_abort called.
EXT3-fs error (device md0): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user
ext3_abort called.
EXT3-fs error (device md0): ext3_remount: Abort forced by user
if I try to remount / as RW I get the following error message:
mount: block device /dev/md0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
In order to fix this a reboot is required with fsck. This will bring the / filesystem back to RW and all is well. Usually within 24 hours it happens again. The server is not highly utilized e.g. averaging 25% mem utilization and 20% CPU
I have seen people with this problem on GSX but no clear resolution. Is it because I am running SW Raid0 and LVM?? Any ideas?
my disk config is below:
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 151558.527 primary ext3 boot, raid
2 151558.528 152068.403 primary linux-swap raid
3 152068.403 152578.278 primary ext3 raid
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 146G 70G 70G 51% /
none 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md2 494M 47M 422M 10% /tmp
I move my temp directory for vmware under / as /tmp was too small
thanks
