I met the same issue while set the pool format 'pc98'. Failed to create vol in pc98 format disk pool. # virsh vol-create sdd vol-disk.xml error: Failed to create vol from vol-disk.xml error: internal error: Child process (/usr/sbin/parted /dev/sdd mkpart --script primary 3936256B 1077678079B) unexpected exit status 1: 2014-07-29 08:27:10.879+0000: 13043: debug : virFileClose:90 : Closed fd 27 2014-07-29 08:27:10.879+0000: 13043: debug : virFileClose:90 : Closed fd 29 2014-07-29 08:27:10.879+0000: 13043: debug : virFileClose:90 : Closed fd 23 Error: You requested a partition from 3936kB to 1078MB (sectors 7688..2104839). The closest location we can manage is 3936kB to 1079MB (sectors 7688..2106511). I didn't test whether this works or not, but honestly I don't think anyone cares about those uncommon disk formats, it isn't even worth the effort trying to make them work IMO |
Description of problem: Failed to create(vol-create) a volume for disk based storage pool with format type bsd/sun. Version-Release number of selected component: libvirt-1.1.0-1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps: 1. Define a storage pool with supported format type: bsd, with below xml: <pool type='disk'> <name>sdb</name> <source> <device path='/dev/sdb'> </device> <format type='bsd'/> </source> <target> <path>/dev</path> <permissions> <mode>0700</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>0</group> </permissions> </target> </pool> #virsh pool-define pool.xml Pool sdb defined from pool.xml 2. pool-build and start the defined storage pool. #virsh pool-build sdb error: Failed to build pool sdb error: Requested operation is not valid: Disk label already present #virsh pool-build sdb --overwrite Pool sdb built #virsh pool-start sdb Pool sdb started 3. fdisk -l check if the disk is listed # fdisk -l ...... Disk /dev/sdb: 16.0 GB, 16022241280 bytes, 31293440 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes 4. vol-create a new volume met error: #more vol-partition-test.xml <volume> <name>sdb1</name> <source> <device path='/dev/sdb'> </device> </source> <capacity unit='G'>10</capacity> <target> <path>/dev/sdb1</path> </target> </volume> # virsh vol-create sdb vol-partition-test.xml error: Failed to create vol from vol-partition-test.xml error: internal error Child process (/usr/sbin/parted /dev/sdb mkpart --script primary 512B 10737418751B) unexpected exit status 1: /usr/sbin/parted: invalid token: primary Error: Expecting a file system type. 5. set <format type='sun'/> in step1, and repeated step1-4, met the same error in step4. Actual results: In step4, vol-create the volume failed. Expected results: In step4, vol-create the volume /dev/sdb1 successfully.
