Le redimensionnement des volumes utilisés comme datastores VMWare NFS cause des problèmes aux VM Linux

Nous avons dû effectuer un redimensionnement de volume en direct d'un datastore NFS que VMWare utilise sur notre Netapp. Toutes nos machines virtuelles Windows se sont bien comportées après le redimensionnement. Cependant, certaines de nos VM Linux ont eu des problèmes.

Certaines VM Linux ne répondent plus. Après avoir redémarré ces VM, je n'ai rien trouvé dans les journaux indiquant un problème.

J'ai cependant trouvé ce genre de messages de journal sur certaines des VM :

Mes questions :

1. Quelqu'un sait-il quelle en est la cause ?
2. Sinon, où devons-nous chercher des indices ?
3. Enfin, quelqu'un sait-il comment atténuer ce problème la prochaine fois que nous devrons redimensionner un volume ?
