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.

Fixed In Version: qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the number of characters in the file name strings for virtual machine (VM) images was limited. Because repeated creation of VM image snapshots gradually increases the file name string size, this eventually resulted in either of the following problems when the size limit was reached: creating an image snapshot failed to be executed or the VM did not successfully boot. This update fixes the handling of file names so that long file names are now supported, and the mentioned problems no longer occur.

Comment 4 Qunfang Zhang 2014-03-06 03:16:44 UTC
Hello, Mirek

Do you know when could we create the qemu-kvm-rhev errata for the bug? And also the twins qemu-kvm errata for bug 1071740.

Thanks,
Qunfang

Comment 5 Miroslav Rezanina 2014-03-06 05:04:05 UTC
Hi Qunfang,
I'm waiting for RHEL 6.5.z errata to be shipped so therre won't be two erratas for the same product-version. I expect it to happen today.

Hi, Mirek

Okay and thanks. I mean one erratum for RHEL qemu-kvm and another one for RHEV-H qemu-kvm-rhev like we did in the past. 


Thanks,
Qunfang

libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.5.x86_64
vdsm-4.13.2-0.11.el6ev.x86_64

Steps:
1)  Create a new VM with a single 1gb disk (or any size)
2)  Keep creating snapshots.

Actual Result:
Counting from 1st snapshot, when creating 24th snapshot, it failed on:

Verified on qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.6.x86_64 with same steps. I can continue to create snapshots up to 50 successfully. 

So this issue has fixed. Moving to VERIFIED.
