Hi everyone,
Sunday fun :)
One of our critical Linux VMs ran out of disk space. I cleared up space=20
by removing old application logs within the guest, rebooted the guest=20
and was presented with the following information message during bootup=20
when the filesystem ext3/4 scan runs:
/Clearing orhpaned inode ...../
Shortly after this message the the guest is paused by oVirt and the "VM=20
has paused due to unknown storage error" message is displayed in the=20
oVirt web GUI.
On the physical node itself, I found the following error=20
in/var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log:
/libvirtEventLoop::INFO::2012-12-02=20
09:05:50,296::libvirtvm::1965::vm.Vm::(_onAbnormalStop)=20
vmId=3D`23b9212c-1e25-4003-aa18-b1e819bf6bb1`::abnormal vm stop device=20
ide0-0-1 error eother/
Any ideas on how to get more informationon what exactly the error is?
I've tried booting the guest into rescue mode, run a manual fsck on the=20
logical volume but each time the guest is automaticall paused due to the=20
"unknown storage error".
We are using a FC SAN for storage, sowhat I've decided to try is export=20
the disk using "dd" on the physical node and then try repairing it by=20
mounting it as a loop filesystem on another physical server, and then=20
use "dd" to import it back in again.
Is this the right approach to take to get the system back online?
