OSX 10.5.1 VMWare Fusion 1.1 Kernel panic + RAID corruption

[NeilBradley]

System is Mac Pro running 10.5.1, VMWare Fusion 1.1. Dual quad core, 9 gigabytes of memory, ~4 Terabytes of disk space. Running a FreeBSD VM and a Windows XP VM.

Within 5 minutes of my upgrade to Fusion 1.1, I got the attached kernel panic. Not only that, it caused my 2 Terabyte external RAID array to become corrupted. The Apple Disk utility couldn't fix it, so I had to buy DiskWarrior (which managed to recover it).

I would very much appreciate someone at VMWare looking at this and seeing if something can't be done. According to the dump, it's putting the blame square on Fusion.

What were you doing when the panic happened (running both guests? were you able to interact with them before the panic?) Anything unusual about your setup?

[NeilBradley]

Both VMs were up and running. Wasn't really "doing" anything other than looking at a web page in Safari (which of course has nothing to do with Fusion). Both VMs were "idle", so to speak, other than just running their normal processes they've always run. I was able to use both of them normally.

I have had kernel panics every 2-3 weeks with Fusion 1.0. The last deadlock condition (that was similar to this one) occurred on November 1st under Fusion 1.0.

[HPReg]

It is possible we trigger an Apple bug when running 2 VMs on a RAID volume. There is something similar there:

http://communities.vmware.com/message/760725#760725

We are investigating. We unfortunately haven't done any testing with RAID setups so far, as they are not frequent on desktop hardware

[NeilBradley]

Thanks for the note.

The external RAID volume that got corrupted had nothing to do with the VMs. The corrupted RAID array is on an external RocketRAID 2314.

The VMs are on a RAID 0 array (software RAID) internal to the machine.

Also, just got another kernel panic. Might have to go back to 1.0 if this keeps up:

How did you obtain this version of Leopard? I have never seen it. And as a consequence, we have never tested Fusion on it Fusion has only be tested on Leopard GA (build 9A581)

[admin]

How did you obtain this version of Leopard?

10.5.1 was released yesterday, is this not it (I haven't updated my machine yet)?

[NeilBradley]

Went to "Software update" and updated to 10.5.1. This is what Apple posted a couple of days ago. I'm not an Apple developer with access to prerelease builds if that's what you're thinking.

[HPReg]

Weird. My Software Update hasn't kicked in. ANyway, I'm upgrading to it now to try to repro the problem.

[JBenden]

Hello all,

I am also experiencing problems with the latest Fusion 1.1.2 and possibly RAID-0. I am running my startup disk without RAID, but my Users folder is on RAID-0 (which has the Fusion files.) The problem crops up when Retrospect is backing up the system while Fusion is running, but only intermittently - meaning that it doesn't happen on every backup.

Fusion was running SLES 10 SP 1 with 1.5gb ram and 2 virtual CPUs and had been running OK for a few days. There were no other running Fusion instances.

Any ideas to try?

Thanks,

-Joe
