How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create qcow2 image using qemu-img
#qemu-img create /tmp/test.img 4G -f  qcow2
 Formatting '/tmp/test.img', fmt=qcow2 size=4294967296 encryption=off cluster_size=0
2:# qemu-img info test.img
image: test.img
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 4.0G (4294967296 bytes)
disk size: 136K
cluster_size: 65536

2.use virt-install to install a guest
#virt-install -n test -r 1024 --hvm --accelerate -c /tmp/img/rhel61.iso --disk path=/tmp/test.img,format=qcow2

if select create custom layout,and create partition manually, install will succeed.

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2011-04-20 14:11:54 UTC
Sounds like the default OS install just uses more than 4G of space, so I don't think this is a bug. Closing as NOTABUG

Unless you are saying this is specific to qcow2 or sparse images or something. If so, please reopen.
