filesystem keeps becoming read only. If it does turnout to be a disk timeout do you have any suggestions as how to fix the problem?
Well, it is a very big "if" at this point. It is equally possible that you have an bad block on the drive that causes an IO error, or a corrupted filesystem block that confuses the filesystem driver, or... Hopefully a log will get written to give us more info. If linux were running on the bare metal, I could probably make some suggestions on how to avoid a timeout appearing in the guest os (schedulers, sysctl settings, etc); however I know nothing about ESX server and what is available there for tuning. You might post the problem to the vmware ESX forum and see what they have to say. The VMWare forums usually provide top-notch support for these kind of things... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
