Yes it was doing an fstrim -v / which resulted in:

[45648.453698] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 9066952

Sadly not as i don't have acore dump. The kvm processes are started
through variuos Daemons and there seems no way to activate core dumps
for an already running process and i don't know which VM will crash next.

No

I don't have another storage type. ;-(
