Description Sibiao Luo 2014-10-21 04:59:16 UTC
Description of problem:
qemu-img fail to open the big(1000T) vdi format disk image with 'Invalid argument' error after created.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
3.10.0-183.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-4.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a big vdi image via qemu-img.
# qemu-img create -f vdi data-disk.vdi 1000TFormatting 'data-disk.vdi', fmt=vdi size=1099511627776000 static=off 
2.use qemu-img to check the image info.
# qemu-img info data-disk.vdi 
qemu-img: Could not open 'data-disk.vdi': Could not open 'data-disk.vdi': Invalid argument

Actual results:

Expected results:
It should open the big(1000T) vdi format disk image without any error via qemu-img.

Additional info:
It did not hit it with qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-60.el7ev.
# qemu-img create -f vdi data-disk.vdi 1000T
Formatting 'data-disk.vdi', fmt=vdi size=1099511627776000 static=off 
# qemu-img info data-disk.vdi 
image: data-disk.vdi
file format: vdi
virtual size: 1000T (1099511627776000 bytes)
disk size: 2.0G
cluster_size: 1048576

Reproduce this bug using the following version:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-23.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-232.el7.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1.create a big vdi image via qemu-img.
# qemu-img create -f vdi data-disk.vdi 1000TFormatting 'data-disk.vdi', fmt=vdi size=1099511627776000 static=off 
2.use qemu-img to check the image info.
# qemu-img info data-disk.vdi 
qemu-img: Could not open 'data-disk.vdi': Could not open 'data-disk.vdi': Invalid argument

Comment 4 huiqingding 2015-03-27 02:36:05 UTC
Test this bug using the following version:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.2.0-8.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-232.el7.x86_64

Test steps:
1.create a 1000T vdi image via qemu-img.
# qemu-img create -f vdi data-disk.vdi 1000T
Formatting 'data-disk.vdi', fmt=vdi size=1099511627776000 static=off 
qemu-img: data-disk.vdi: Unsupported VDI image size (size is 0x3e80000000000, max supported is 0x1fffff8000000)

2.create a 512T vdi image via qemu-img
# qemu-img create -f vdi data-disk.vdi 0x1fffff8000000
Formatting 'data-disk.vdi', fmt=vdi size=562949819203584 static=off 

3. use qemu-img to check the imge info
# qemu-img info data-disk.vdi 
image: data-disk.vdi
file format: vdi
virtual size: 512T (562949819203584 bytes)
disk size: 2.0G
cluster_size: 1048576

Test results:
qemu-img can create and check the maxsize 512T vdi image.

Based on the above results, I think this bug has been fixed.
