Qubes OS version (e.g.,
R3.2):3.2
Affected TemplateVMs (e.g.,
fedora-23, if applicable):Windows HVM, Windows templated AppVM
Expected behavior:
I didn't have any expectations, decided to see what would PV disk driver do.
Actual behavior:
While promised BSOD never happened, about an hour in I noticed that an infrequent "freeze" I occasionally got (and described here #2690) now happens very frequently (about twice an hour)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Have a windows VM that occasionally freezes with 100% CPU load (on boot or otherwise)
Install Xen Disk PV drivers
Have 100% CPU freezes much more often, right during work
qga log features lines like
connect_to_daemon: connect to server failed with error 2:
QvUnregisterWatchedDC: ExtEscape(QVESC_STOP_WATCHING_SURFACE) failed, error 0
(but GUI works)
There's also a lot of
TerminateTargetProcess: OpenEvent failed with error 2: Can not find file
QGAWatchdog's log
Is there a way to "gracefully" uninstall the PV disk drivers or should I just revert to backup?
General notes:
Related issues:
Somehow related to
#2690
(PV disk stuff somehow made it manifest way more frequently)
