.... seem to be a never ending story ...
I've found the problem of my crashes (two days on a row now).

I'm using lvm2 as a filesystem, and was doing backup's like this:
- take a snapshot of a running system
- mount the snapshot
- rsync the snapshot to my backup-partition.
- umount the snapshot
- remove the snaphost

This resulted in a huge load, which was increased 1 hour later, and resulted in a not-responding system.


I googled now for 2 days, and found many discussions, but I cannot find a proper and stable solution. Should I maybe just mount the domU over the network (portmap) to have a non-crashing solution?

Best regards,
Pascal
