  • Wow! Great answer. I completely forgot about this question. I have marked your answer as the accepted one. The datacenter I currently work with (which is a big VMWare partner) has upgraded their storage recently to a Hitachi Pod. We are actually adding another pod to the environment to help the load of IOPs because we started to run into additional issues with IOPs (pre emphasizing that we needed to upgraded or expand the SAN resources). SO in the past wee, we have increased our SAN resources again.

  • This is definitely what happened to me. I ran ffmpeg to build 2 videos of some 50 Gb and that was done in 2 min. in memory, but the disk ran for 10 min. straight (swamped!) Once done, all my VMs (4 at that time) were dead... I just had to reboot the VMs to fix the issue. Commented Aug 5, 2022 at 18:19
