Well, it is a very big "if" at this point. It is equally possible |
| 6 |
that you have an bad block on the drive that causes an IO error, or a |
| 7 |
corrupted filesystem block that confuses the filesystem driver, or... |
| 8 |
Hopefully a log will get written to give us more info. |

If linux were running on the bare metal, I could probably make some |
| 11 |
suggestions on how to avoid a timeout appearing in the guest os |
| 12 |
(schedulers, sysctl settings, etc); however I know nothing about ESX |
| 13 |
server and what is available there for tuning. |

You might post the problem to the vmware ESX forum and see what they |
| 16 |
have to say. The VMWare forums usually provide top-notch support for |
| 17 |
these kind of things... |
