ata-errors on guest: repeated ext4-errors on my linux-guest?
Posted: 24. Jan 2011, 17:08
Within four days I had to face to serious fs-corruptions in my linux guest. First was on my Ubuntu8.04-guest, where the ext3-fs was so messed up that it was unrepairable. I installed a ubuntu10.04-guest with ext4 and this morning I had the same problem. The fs was damaged and I had to repair it with a rescue-disk. This is the log on my Ubuntu10.04-guest named zimbra (cause I run zimbra on it)
In the logs the first sign of troubles :

I wonder how my virtual disk can show such troubles?
I know such logs if a harddisk is going to fail, but this is a virtual controller and a virtual harddisk and the host-system seems to be fine.
Host: Ubuntu 8.04 - server LTS - 64Bit
Guest: Ubuntu 10.04 - server LTS - 64Bit (but first troubles were on a 8.04-64-guest)
Virtualbox is 4.0.2 now, but when my 8.04-guest failed I used Virtualbox 3.x. When I upgraded my guest, I upgraded Virtualbox as well.
I'm very unsure about the apic, ioapic, PAE, hardw. virt.ext, hardware virt.ext exclusive - settings cause I dont really know what they mean and how I should set them.
the host-cpu is a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3363 @ 2.83GHz with 4 cores.
thnx a lot for any help,
p
