Hard disk problems in guest (not host) cause VirtualBox guest to get stuck

Post by rbarak »

I started using VirtualBox on a new host.
For the second time, one of the guest instances gets stuck.
After I restart it (which necessitated `kill -1` of its process), I see the below lines in its syslog:

Code: Select all

The VirtualBox host shows no indications of any problems relating to VirtualBox or hard-disk (actually, the host's /var/log/messages show no errors whatsoever).
Googling, I found similar issues reported for non-virtual machines, but no real directions on how to resolve the issue when it appears in a VirtualBox guest.
Any ideas on how to resolve the above?


Versions:
  • VirtualBox: 5.2.20r125813
  • Guest: CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
  • Host: CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

Well, was there a "direction" on how to solve it on non-VirtualBox guest? What was it?

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
