Hi
I’m a issue with a opensuse 11.4 guest VM. The root partition goes read-only while the VM was running normally.
I note this /var/log/messages:
Aug 22 10:57:02 guest1 kernel: [508161.475307] mptscsih: ioc0: attempting task abort! (sc=dc29c5c0)
Aug 22 10:57:02 guest1 kernel: [508161.475380] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] CDB: Write(10):

After this time, the system continued running, but with the root partition in read-only mode. The mount, uname, an SuSE-Release commands and text shows these output:
guest1:~ # mount

I read this Novell [document 7005154](http://www.novell.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=7005154&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_TID_1_1&dialogID=124918554&stateId=0 0 258916088) for SLES.

I’m using “VMware Server Version 2.0.2 Build 203138” over Win 2k3 64bit like host.
But I’m using a fresh linux kernel. At this moment, exists a fix for opensuse 11.4?
Thanks in advance
