Summary: Windows XP Guest crashes when doing recursive grep in
a Clearcase environment
Product: Virtualization
Version: unspecified
Kernel Version: 2.6.32-22
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: kvm
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No

I have the following problem reproduced on centos6 and RH6.

When I am doing a recursive grep on my Clearcase view using a 3rd party program called Windows Grep. On every run, the VM would crash (windows kernel crash where the cause is reported as unknown by Microsoft) up after the program ran about an hour or so.

The qemu-kvm version is:
------------------------
QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.1 (qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

The host is :
--------------
Linux wcary65q.cnda.avaya.com 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri

model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz
or
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5649 @ 2.53GHz

I used virt-manager to create and run the VMs. The command argument when VM is running:

-enable-kvm -m 3417 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1

Host dmesg:

On the host I see the following:

Please advice !

--- Comment #1 from Michael Tokarev <[email protected]> 2012-05-29 06:15:24 --- First of all, redhat version of qemu and kernel are outdated and heavily patched - please address the questions about redhat versions to the redhat support. You can ask here or, more likely, in qemu related mailinglist or bugzilla, if you can reproduce this bug with current upstream versions of kernel and qemu[-kvm].

And second, for bugs in windows programs, please verify that this issue does not exist on bare hardware, and ask their support channels. It is not typical to have this commercial development environment on an average linux developers machine, so it is unlikely anyone will be able to help here.

A quick search turned up these known issues with the software you are using:
http://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21312878

There's nothing indicating KVM here. As mjt mentioned, please get support from Clearcase first.
