[Xen-users] VM suddenly hangs

[Marco Weber <marco.jamendo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This problem just occurs on a small ubuntu 8.04 LTS host.
On this host, there is just 1 VM running.
The problem always occurs, when the VM is up for about 2-3days.
Suddenly, the machine hangs and you cannot connect to it using ssh.

( Just a xm destroy  and  xm create   helps to get the VM running again. )

when i open the xen console of the vm, i start seeing such strange error messages:
