Sorry, still had it today;
So more works/investigation required!!! 0 0 2325 821 0 0 1020 324 c0133119 D 8801 0:00 sync or 0 0 2325 821 1 0 1020 324 wait_on_dqu D ? 0:00 sync
This time it append after the VM exited (shutdown of the VM).
During the "commit" I did sync many times and no problems, it only append after.
I know I have this "bad" habit of typing sync inconciently. But hey, I'm used to development kernel ;-))
If you need more info, let me know I can only debug on this system until sunday then I'm gone for 3 weeks (but I might be able to connect/test remotely via vpn) but that could be a problem if it hangs... my arm won't be long enought to reach across the ocean...
