I forgot to mention, the host is running debian sid with kernel 2.6.31-1-
amd64, and kvm --version reports:
QEMU PC emulator version 0.10.50 (qemu-kvm-devel-88)
the hosts / and the vm volumes all sit on a lvm volume group, ontop of a md-
raid1 mirror of two Seagate 7200.12 500GB SATAII drives.
The host is running 7 other guest which all seem to be running smoothly,
except both freebsd (pfSense) based guests which seemed to have locked up
after this message:
ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=16183439
Though the second freebsd guest didn't seem to use up nearly as much cpu,
but it uses up far lower resources than the first.
