--- Comment #4 from James Fehlig
I test both on opensuse11.1 and sles11, "convert + blokc-attach" works fine, I didn't encounter any IO errors or other failures. How can I reproduce it?
Do you see the partitions of the disk? E.g. with qcow2: xen67:~ # xm block-attach 0 tap:qcow2:/var/lib/xen/images/sles10sp2-qcow/disk0 xvdp r xen67:~ # ll /dev/xvdp* brw-rw---- 1 root root 202, 240 2009-05-06 09:30 /dev/xvdp brw-rw---- 1 root root 202, 241 2009-05-06 09:30 /dev/xvdp1 brw-rw---- 1 root root 202, 242 2009-05-06 09:30 /dev/xvdp2 But with vmdk: xen33:~ # xm block-attach 0 tap:vmdk:/var/lib/xen/images/sles11-pv/disk0.vmdk xvdp r xen33:~ # ll /dev/xvdp* brw-rw---- 1 root root 202, 240 2009-05-06 10:43 /dev/xvdp and in /var/log/xen/tapdisk-ioemu.log w/xen_blktap.c:569: Received CTLMSG_PARAMS: [/var/lib/xen/images/sles11-pv/disk0.vmdk] hw/xen_blktap.c:234: Opening /var/lib/xen/images/sles11-pv/disk0.vmdk as blktap0 hw/xen_blktap.c:251: vmdk driver specified (VMDK) image open: flags=0x2 filename=/var/lib/xen/images/sles11-pv/disk0.vmdk hw/xen_blktap.c:115: Adding fd_list_entry hw/xen_blktap.c:583: Entered cookie 0 hw/xen_blktap.c:595: Writing (size, secsize, info) = (0x800000, 0x200, 4) connected disks: 0 => 1 hw/xen_blktap.c:560: blktap: Received msg, len 24, type 4, UID 0 hw/xen_blktap.c:606: Retrieving state, cookie 0.....[OK] hw/xen_blktap.c:209: set tap_fd = 8 hw/xen_blktap.c:218: map_new_dev = 1 hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL hw/xen_blktap.c:510: ERROR: bdrv_read() == NULL Also, you can try the same steps as snorp. Convert a raw image to vmdk and then try to boot the vm after changing it config. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
