So this is a weird one, I have a FC9 system (I know) that all it does is run my local mail. Been wanting to migrate that, but mail is kind of a pain to setup and just never got around to it. I want to use virtual domains instead of individual user accounts for each mailbox and procmail does not work with virtual users so I need to code my own version which I just have not gotten around to doing. I have a couple special mailboxes that won't work the way they do now if I go to virtual users, without coding a custom MTA.
Anyway, so basically ever since I switched, trying to get my mail is BLOODY SLOW. Thunderbird just sits for about half an hour before all the mail finally loads. It's using IMAP.
In the dmesg log I also get lot of errors like this:
Looks to me like a hard drive failing, but again, this is a VM. The VM disk is stored on a raid 10 via NFS. The other VMs are fine. My NFS has always been super slow though, I just never been able to figure out why and gave up. Want to eventually revamp storage and switch to iSCSI or something at some point. Is it just that this OS is being affected more seriously by the slow disk?

Looks to me like a hard drive failing, but again, this is a VM. The VM disk is stored on a raid 10 via NFS. The other VMs are fine. My NFS has always been super slow though, I just never been able to figure out why and gave up. Want to eventually revamp storage and switch to iSCSI or something at some point.
