https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489425 Summary: unable to use tap:vmdk Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: cgriffin@novell.com ReportedBy: snorp@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=282349) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=282349) /var/log/messages from 'xm create' It seems that tap:vmdk is broken. I created a disk with 'qemu-img convert disk.raw disk.vmdk', so I would think that should work. Instead, 'xm create' gives the following (after a long pause): xm create -c Xen_Test.i686-0.0.1.xenconfig Using config file "./Xen_Test.i686-0.0.1.xenconfig". Error: Device /dev/xvdp (tap) could not be disconnected. Things are pretty hosed in general afterwards. Running 'xm block-list' shows the device: xm block-list 0 Vdev BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path 51952 0 0 3 28 8 /local/domain/0/backend/tap/0/51952 But removing it is not possible: xm block-detach 0 51952 Error: Device 51952 not connected There is a lot of bad looking stuff in /var/log/messages from blktapctrl. I've attached the log. The xen config I used is below: memory=512 disk=[ "tap:vmdk:/tmp/disk.vmdk,xvda,w" ] vif=[ "bridge=xenbr0" ] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
