I am using latest VirtualBox 6.0.6 on physical Linux x86-64 Oracle Linux 7 Update 6 Host. I have problems with one guest VM, running also Linux x86-64. The VM freezes almost every day. It is then unreachable via IP and hangs when connecting via Console "Show". In VBox.log, we see AHCI Resets.
How can I troubleshoot this issue in more detail? What "debugvm" could be of use in this case?
Regards,
Martin

Yeah... we need to see that VBox.log too. Does it have to do anything with an older post of yours, "Guest VM Kernel Panic and"?mdecker77 wrote:In VBox.log, we see AHCI Resets.
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I have attached vbox.log as well as serial console from the VM.

I have reduced number of LUNs from 5 to 2, enabled Host I/O Cache and set
VBoxManage setextradata "host" "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#0/Config/IgnoreFlush" 0
VBoxManage setextradata "host" "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#1/Config/IgnoreFlush" 0
VBoxManage setextradata host "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#0/Config/FlushInterval" 10000000
VBoxManage setextradata host "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#1/Config/FlushInterval" 10000000
Lets see whether this is sufficient.

After the modifications, the VM guest now looks stable. No more crashes.
