Hello. my disk i/o is not saturated, no kernel panics, no storage layer messages/errors in kernel ring buffer.

Many procs are caught in the D state, example:

Quote:

nobody 26807 0.0 0.1 37348 11008 ? D 12:14 0:02 | \_ /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
nobody 26857 0.0 0.1 37160 11160 ? D 12:14 0:05 | \_ /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
nobody 0.0 0.1 37164 11156 ? D 12:15 0:02 | \_ /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL

[root@hydrogen ~]# ps axf -o pid,wchan,comm | egrep "26807|26857|26875"
26807 refrig | \_ httpd
26857 refrig | \_ httpd
26875 refrig | \_ httpd



I could not find any info about the refrig kernel function on google. any insight?

v2.6.18 openvz

nevermind, this is related to the online migation ability.

Thanks Vasily, I was running some live migrations, but I didn't have time to document the problem/situation. I feel that cancelling a live migration can render the VE unusable on both nodes. I'll work on duplicating this another day.
