The root partition goes read-only while the VM was running normally. I can't write data to disk, I need reboot. The log (/var/log/messages) show this: Aug 22 10:57:02 guest1 kernel: [508161.475307] mptscsih: ioc0: attempting task abort! (sc=dc29c5c0) Aug 22 10:57:02 guest1 kernel: [508161.475380] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] CDB: Write(10): Aug 22 10:57:02 guest1 kernel: [508161.475582] mptscsih: ioc0: task abort: SUCCESS (rv=2002) (sc=dc29c5c0) (sn=0) After this log, the system continue running, but with the root partition in read-only mode, and I've lost data. The mount, uname, an SuSE-Release commands and text shows these output: guest1:~ # mount devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=244048k,nr_inodes=61012,mode=755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (ro,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,relatime) none on /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint type vmblock (rw,relatime) guest1 # uname -a Linux guest1 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.4 (i586) VERSION = 11.4 CODENAME = Celadon I read this Novell document 7005154 with a SLES fix, but they doesn't have an opensuse 11.4 fix: http://www.novell.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=7005154&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_TID_1_1&dialogID=124918554&stateId=0 0 258916088 This another vmware link is related too: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/dynamickcInt.do;jsessionid=ADE81C639B90B59BBA491CEE21DF4C64?micrositeID=&cmd=show&docType=kc&sliceId=2&forward=nonthreadedKC&externalId=51306&stateId=0%200%208616976 vmware KB I'm using "VMware Server Version 2.0.2 Build 203138" over Win 2k3 64bit like host. In this blog, a computer student has published a patch for kernel 2.6.39, but I'm using the 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop version, and I prefer a released fix of opensuse: http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/2011/05/14/running-vmware-workstation... RedHat Enterprise, SUSE Enterprise and Ubuntu have a fix, and I'm using a fresh linux kernel. At this moment, exists a fix for opensuse 11.4? Regards, Marcelo Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: let the root partition in normal mode, i.e. the filesystem read-write mode. I need reboot the server in order to reestablish the normal service. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
