Comment 6 Rik van Riel 2009-03-17 13:57:24 UTC
How did you reboot the host in step 5?

Did you reboot it cleanly, or did you push the power button?

If you pushed the power button, how long did you wait?

It is important that the host is NOT shut down cleanly, in order for data from the host page cache to NOT be written to disk.
