I see lots of errors like the following:

Nov 20 09:39:21 kalimantan tapdisk[1899]: ERROR: errno -14 at vhd_complete: 
/var/run/sr-mount/34ff5733-1e1d-dc84-137e-95c849222ca4/2f6a71be-c1e7-4463-a77c-0d0e627745a3.vhd:
 op: 5, lsec: 33456128, secs: 8, nbytes: 4096, blk: 8168, blk_offset: 4294967295

Which most certainly lead to the VM experiencing I/O errors. errno -14 is 
EFAULT (bad address) which is returned to tapdisk by some fairly low level 
function, possible some system call, unfortunately there isn't more information 
related to that.

Can you check your logs for anything of interest around that time?
