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.

Description FuXiangChun 2013-08-29 10:24:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
convert qcow2/raw to vmdk with qemu-img on nfs file system, and save objective file to nfs file system.  it　write speed only 100k/second. Use the same method to convert other format image, conver rate is normal. e.g
vmdk--->qcow2
vmdk--->raw
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-1.5.2-3.el7.x86_64
3.10.0-11.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mount nfs file system to local /mnt

2.time qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 /mnt/rhel6.qcow2-O vmdk /mnt/rhel6-qcow2-vmdk
3.

Actual results:
convert rate only about 100k/sec

Expected results:
~40M

Additional info:
If objective file don't save on nfs file system, convert rate is good.

Comment 10 Qian Guo 2014-12-23 07:42:21 UTC 
Reproduced this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-83.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Prepare a 3.2G actually size qcow2 image which is in nfs server.
# qemu-img info /mnt/rhel7/rhel7base.qcow2 
image: /mnt/rhel7/rhel7base.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 30G (32212254720 bytes)
disk size: 3.2G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false


2.Try to convert it to be vmdk format.
# time qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 /mnt/rhel7/rhel7base.qcow2 -O vmdk /mnt/test2.vmdk


Result:
# time qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 /mnt/rhel7/rhel7base.qcow2 -O vmdk /mnt/test2.vmdk
    (100.00/100%)

real	79m0.067s
user	0m4.741s
sys	0m26.629s


The speed is 675k/s, so this bug is reproduced.

Verified this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-84.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-17.el7.x86_64

Steps as above

Results:
1.With qemu-kvm-1.5.3-84.el7.x86_64

# time qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 /mnt/rhel7/rhel7base.qcow2 -O vmdk /mnt/test1.vmdk
    (100.00/100%)

real	1m46.145s
user	0m3.416s
sys	0m15.311s

The speed is 32M/s

2.With qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-17.el7.x86_64

#  time qemu-img convert -p -f qcow2 /mnt/rhel7/rhel7base.qcow2 -O vmdk /mnt/test2.vmdk
    (0.00/100%)
    (100.00/100%)

real	1m29.221s
user	0m2.212s
sys	0m4.666s

The speed is 36M/s

The speed is acceptable, so this bug is fixed by qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-17.el7.x86_64 and qemu-kvm-1.5.3-84.el7.x86_64
