The KVM segfault is exposing a potential consistency problem. What is worse is not obvious. Also, it is happening at reset time if this is the culprit. Reset usually happens at places where no data loss is caused. Can you find out what the VM was doing when it segfaulted? (Or even, can you place the corefile and kvm executable somewhere where I can download it?) I'll prepare a test program that resets the adapter while doing I/O and try to reproduce it myself, in the meanwhile: can you grep the VM's /var/log/messages with kernel messages regarding the storage ("aborting cmd" and other things after it)? If not, do your VMs reset themselves often for example? Can you reproduce it on non-rbd storage? Paolo
