Re: QEMU-KVM VMs sometime freeze when I run them for a couple of days

George Shuklin's comment may have intended this question too: Are backups running
somewhere when the VMs "randomly" hang? Not necessarily on the VM that hangs,
but somewhere touching a related filesystem, disk or network device?
Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for asking. No backups on the host or inside the guest. And nothing else IO intensive on the host. They're IO intensive tasks in some guests but as I mentioned it's difficult to say if those tasks trigger the freezing.

I've just been working on getting Qemu for powerpc to install NetBSD 9.1 and had bunches of problems with the VM hanging during the install process.  This was using the current default Debian package, 3.1.0.

The Qemu website has source for version 5.2.0, which I downloaded and built.  It does not hang.

Perhaps upgrading is the answer?

Bob
