3.2.6 hangs OS-X 10.6.2 w/FreeBSD guest
Posted: 10. Aug 2010, 11:36
Don't have much info, and I'm new to VB (have been running vmware, moved to VB so it's easier to share images with other users) and so far it's pretty nifty, but it's pretty reliably locking up my machine.
The guest hosts are all FreeBSD 8.1, and I'm using both "host only" and "bridged" networking. Bridged on the second adapter so I can reach the host from the local network, and the host-only interface for netbooting a few vms. Host OS is 10.6.4.
The guests that seem to trigger this the worst are running ZFS with multiple virtual drives. I doubt ZFS is the trigger, I more suspect the multiple drives are. Nothing of note in the mac's logs other than this a few hours before the last lockup:
Aug 9 18:33:39 freemac kernel[0]: aio_queue_async_request(): too many in flight for proc: 16.
Aug 9 18:48:46: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Aug 9 18:48:46 freemac kernel[0]: aio_queue_async_request(): too many in flight for proc: 16.
Aug 9 18:59:47 freemac kernel[0]: aio_queue_async_request(): too many in flight for proc: 16.
The host's performance seems to get very degraded during even some low-impact disk activity in the VM with ZFS - cpu will peg at 100% for nearly 5 minutes (not the vm process itself but "kernel_task"). The host's drive is usually not thrashing when this happens. The UI gets very sluggish and sometimes completely freezes except for the mouse.
Sorry, not much to go on there...
I should also add that I do still have VMWare installed, but I saw no warning in the install directions about removing other VM software.
Thanks!
