[solved] Help troubleshoot Virtualbox hanging (possible btrfs related)

ngoonee · 2013-09-25 05:17:42

Sometime longer than a week ago I did not have this problem.

Yesterday I encountered it for the first time. Starting a windows 8 VM works all the way through the apps screen and then it just hangs. No way to quit virtualbox. Weirdly enough, Firefox is still working at this point but becomes unresponsive after a while as well. My WM (awesome) and terminals are unaffected, but kill/killall doesn't work.

On shutdown I see this error (first code box below). I have done btrfsck on all my partitions since then, still the same problem.

My pacman log for the past 10 days is in the second code box below. I have tried downgrading to linux-3.11.1-1 and 3.11-1 without success. 3.11-1 allows me to get past the apps screen, but once I open a document in the VM it becomes unresponsive again, so the bug is just being delayed.

This laptop is heavily used and no other unresponsivity was noted this past week prior to using VirtualBox.

Final point, I'm fully updated using [testing].

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm quite stumped at this point. Considering creating a new VM to test whether my image is faulty....
