i spent from 6 PM until now to find out why after hardware
upgrade Fedora 17 VM's are crashing on vSpere5 cluster while
make snapshot / suspend filesystem for VMware-Datarecovery

* EVC Intel® "Westmere" Generation (Xeon® 32nm Core™ i7)
* UUID=....  /boot  ext4  defaults,comment=systemd.automount,noauto  0 1
* open-vm-tools-9.2.2.893683
* vSphere5 build 821926
* Fedora 17 x86_64 with any 3.6.8 to 3.6.10 Kernel (i guess others too)
* /boot was a ext2 without journal mounted as ext4, other FS native ext4

with EVC "Xeon 45 nm Core2" on the same host no problem
without systemd.automount also no problem, even with 32nm i7 EVC
with manual snapshots no problem in any case

this happens really only in this combination on both hosts
one with dual socket E5-2640, one with dual socket E5640

below the stacktrace, may somebody have fun to debug this, i am done
after a whole night finding the workaround not use systemd.automount
in this environment killing the joy of new hardware......
