Endian 2.4 stability (on qemu/kvm)

[Guest]

Has anyone else experienced severe problems with 2.4?

I've had constant issues that seem to be related to the disc I/O layer so I've had to revert to 2.3 :-(

Cheers,

hi,

can we have more details ? (how many users, how many vpn tunnel, how many services (proxy, etc...)

regards,

Only two users (six systems connected), low usage.
I'm now leaning towards the problem being configuration of the guest (kvm/qemu) rather than endian.
I've reinstalled using more basic settings and disabled acpi etc. in the guest, at the moment it seems fine.

Until now I've only found the following qemu/kvm related problem:
bugs.endian.it/view.php?id=1116

* virtio for NIC's is now working with EFW 2.4 *

Just noticed this, makes a huge difference. But you have to enable this after install - easy enough :-D

Any chance of a respin with the virtio disc drivers in the initrd

that would be nice... but i think it would also be okay, to just release a new update package

I can't seem to get 2.4 stable, postfix hangs and the only way to restart it is to reboot the box.
It seems to lock running the aliases command and a not even a kill -9 will not kill the process.
So for the moment I've regressed to 2.3, lets hope 2.4.1 isn't too far away :-D

Hoping this is related to the "segfault in fetchipac  bug"
