Hi,
I'm having a problem with a fedora15 x86_64 host with a fedora15
x86_64 guest on a Xeon E3-1240 with 8GB RAM on the guest. This is the
only guest. The server is configured as a mail server, using
spamassassin, postfix, amavisd, and clamav.
It was previously running without error on different hardware. I
migrated the disks to a more powerful server due to load. It's a new
server, and has been stress tested with memtest86, mprime, and
passmark's Linux test for more than 24 hours without producing a
problem.
However, when I run the kvm vm, I receive a bunch of errors similar to
these on the guest:
[169245.360511] clamscan[27448] general protection ip:7f125f2e6ffb
sp:7fff117566f0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1.11[7f125f229000+9ce000]
[29016.445470] clamd[1110] general protection ip:30df2c3981
sp:7fffa08f4fe0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1
.11[30df200000+9ce000]
There are other applications, such as pyzor, that produce similar errors.
Is this something that could be a result of some software
configuration error I've made? Is there something I can do to debug
this further? There also aren't any errors on the host indicating a
kernel problem or hardware issue.
Is it possible this is a known error?
I was previously trying to improve IO performance by using 'block'
instead of 'file' for the device, but had to abandon that idea because
it didn't work and I had to concentrate on this problem.
Could disabling the cache (cache=none) cause this?
I've included some info below, in hopes someone could guide me towards
a solution.
