Subject: virtio_ioport_write unexpected address
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:53:43 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F2FF787.9020408@complete.org> (raw)

Hi,

We're setting up some KVM systems with their disk image stored in a 
sparse raw file on an NFS4 server.  The NFS4 filesystem is mounted with 
the hard option, which means that I/O to it is blocked indefinitely when 
the server goes down, and will be properly handled when the server returns.

We observed a server failure over the weekend, and when the server 
returned -- not when it went down -- our Windows 2008 R2 VMs hard 
rebooted, with this in the libvirt log:

virtio_ioport_write: unexpected address 0x13 value 0x1

virtio_ioport_write: unexpected address 0x13 value 0x1

The downtime had been about 30 minutes, and after the downtime, the NFS 
filesystem was responsive.

We were presenting drive C to Windows as IDE, and a data drive with virtio.

The host system is Debian squeeze x64, which is running the stock Debian 
2.6.32 kernel and qemu-kvm 0.12.5.  The Windows VMs have the latest 
virtio drivers from Fedora.

Thanks,

-- John
