Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2015 22:47:23 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151129224723.3322.79104.malone@chaenomeles.canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20150804095638.25012.1470.malonedeb@chaenomeles.canonical.com
I have experienced this behavior (main-loop: WARNING: I/O thread spun
for 1000 iterations) and the resulting degraded performance. The VM
becomes very unresponsive but eventually recovers. My setup:
Ubuntu 15.10 | qemu-system-x86_64 --version QEMU emulator version 2.3.0 (Debian 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu9)
HW = Dell Precision M6600 with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU
I agree with other comments that it seems related to high disk I/O as
the problem seems to occur during VM install or other VM operations
which read/write large amounts of data.
