The following is an example of the error message that is output by the appliance-creator when this fails. writing image XML to /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo.xml converting /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo-sda.raw image to /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo-sda.qcow qemu-img: Could not open '/var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo-sda.qcow' Unable to convert disk format to qcow, using raw disk image moving disks to final location moving /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo.xml to /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/out moving /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo-sda.raw to /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/out moving /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/tmp-N65fLE/foo-sda.qcow to /var/tmp/imgcreate-223Oxs/out done I did some testing on this issue this morning below are some of my notes... running with included kickstart file and format set to qcow does reproduce the problem. running with qcow2 it does not, image creation succeeds. => sample-sda.qcow2 519M running with format set to raw then succeeds and then manually converting the image with qemu-image, also fails: sample2-sda.raw 2.6G. # sudo qemu-img convert -f raw sample2-sda.raw -O qcow sample2-sda.qcow qemu-img: Could not open 'sample2-sda.qcow' I think it may be a size limitation to qemu-img looks to be a bug with qemu-img. I have filed a bug on qemu-img 465846 This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 319361 [details] Kickstart used to reproduce problem Description of problem: When running appliance-tools you can specify the output format of the disk image. By default the image is raw. If I try -f qcow the qemu-img process inside appliance-tools fails. qcow2 seems to work fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): appliance-tools-002-3.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Most of the time. It seems to depend on the disk size used in the supplied kickstart. I've been able to get qcow output format to succeed with the following disk layout: part /boot --ondisk=sda --fstype=ext3 --size=100 part / --ondisk=sda --fstype=ext3 --size=10000 part swap --ondisk=sda --fstype=swap --size=512 But if I toggle the size of / to be anything other than 10000 the qemu-img process fails. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the attached sample.ks kickstart 2. appliance-creator --config sample.ks --name sample -f qcow -d -v 3. Actual results: The installation will succeed, but after install when qemu-img is used to convert the disk image from raw to qcow the qemu-img command will fail. Expected results: qemu-img should succeed Additional info: See attachment for kickstart I used to reproduce this problem.
