This bug is reported only on the VM's with CentOS 7 running on on VMware ESXi 5.1. The vSphere performance graph shows high CPU consume and disk activity only on VM's with CentOS 7. Sometimes I can not connect remotely with ssh (timeout error). The details of last issues was reported to retrace.fedoraproject.org. ¿Do you have a hint?
