Hi, Karen Would you please provides the qemu-kvm version? thanks This happened with 6.2 as well as the latest 6.3 qemu-kvm. I was using qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.265.el6. I take it to libvirt, as libvirt is expected to recongize the corrupted domain state file, and ignores it when domain starting. See #BZ 730750. Can you please attach the first 4k of the corrupted save file to this BZ (should just be some binary data followed by the guest XML, limiting to 4k will avoid sending any actual saved guest state, so you don't have to worry about that security aspect)? Libvirt detects corrupted state files by writing a temporary header, then doing migrate to file, then finally rewriting the header to the proper value. Also, what version of libvirt was running at the time the guest was previously subject to a managedsave operation? I assume you are using the libvirt-guests service, which does a guest managedsave on host shutdown? Karen, can you please provide the first 4K of the corrupted save file as requested in comment #5? Thanks! This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Jiri, this is a dup of the fs corruption on shutdown that you worked on, right? It looks like it could be the bug. Eric Sandeen identified and fixed an issue in writeback code, which he believes was the reason for fs corruption. See bug 818172 (the original fs corruption bug 749527 is likely a duplicate of that bug). The bug is supposed to be fixed in kernel-2.6.32-280.el6 I also think this is a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 818172 *** |
