Re: [Xen-users] Disk erros on one xen domain



I know RAID don't guarantee there is no errors.

My two others physical machines that hosts each a Xen domain controller are not the same hardware at all but the same OS (Debian Lenny 64 bits). They don't have these errors and never crashed.

You think I should try another kernel more up-to-date?

That doesn't mean it will automatically guarantee to be error-free.


Since I started that server in prod, it crashed 3 times. It responds to
pings but no ssh access (on xen domain and virtal machines either). Some
services on virtual machines continue to respond, other don't. The only
solution is a hard reboot.

Does the other working machines have similar config (hardware, OS,
kernel, etc.)? If yes, then it's hardware problem. No way around it.

There are cases when it's not actually hardware problem, but kernel
problem (like when using opensuse 11.2 with HP smart array). In these
cases I'd try with liveCD/DVD of other distros first. This does not
seem to be case with your setup though.
