RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
---Problem Description---
While doing some testing with Qemu and creating huge logfiles we encountered the case where
the VM could not start anymore due to the lseek() to the end of the Qemu VM's log file failing.
Machine Type = HS22
---Steps to Reproduce---
To reproduce this error, you could do the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/log/libvirt/qemu/<name of VM>.log bs=1024 count=)
and you should get an error like this:
error: Failed to start domain <name of VM>
error: Unable to seek to -2147482651 in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<name of VM>.log: Success
Userspace rpm: libvirt-0.8.7-11.el6
qemu driver: fix positioning to end of log file
The attached patch from Stefan Berger is already in the libvirt upstream git.
commit id is 0922ff2feaeca786f14f21a369f45aa0f7cc06dc
The patch is only a one liner and fixes an problem which has also been observed during
802.1Qbg support testing where virtual machines machines were migrated a lot.
Hi IBM ,
Would you please update your pkgs to the version under http://veillard.com/libvirt/6.1/x86_64/ . And try if the bug is fixed already .
Thanks

We did not observe this issue with snap1 anymore .. so I think we can close this bugzilla.
