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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2546 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE qemu-kvm-rhev bug fix and enhancement update 2015-12-04 21:11:56 UTC

Description Pradeep Kumar Surisetty 2015-06-17 04:56:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

With RHEL7,1 qemu-kvm : Qcow2 image creation supports preallocation=off, metadata, falloc, full. 


With rhel7.1 qemu-kvm-rhev:  Qcow2 image creation supports only preallocation=off, metada.  falloc, full options are missing.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-23.el7_1.3.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.check qemu-img man page. Or create image using metadata or falloc

Image creation with different options: 
----------

Preallocation=off

 qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=off 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='off' lazy_refcounts=off 

preallocation=metadata:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='metadata' lazy_refcounts=off 

Preallocation=falloc:

 qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='falloc' lazy_refcounts=off 

qemu-img: /tmp/test.qcow2: Invalid preallocation mode: 'falloc'

Preallocation=full

 qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=full 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='full' lazy_refcounts=off 
qemu-img: /tmp/test.qcow2: Invalid preallocation mode: 'full'

---


Actual results:

image creation fails with these options.  

Expected results:

Should be able to create qcow2 image with preallocate=falloc, full options.
Comment 7 Qian Guo 2015-07-01 07:51:23 UTC 
Reproduced with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.1.2-23.el7.x86_64

#  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=off 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='off' lazy_refcounts=off 
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='metadata' lazy_refcounts=off 
#  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='falloc' lazy_refcounts=off 
qemu-img: /tmp/test.qcow2: Invalid preallocation mode: 'falloc'
#  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=full 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='full' lazy_refcounts=off 
qemu-img: /tmp/test.qcow2: Invalid preallocation mode: 'full'


Can not create img by "full", "falloc" preallocateion mode, so this bug is reproduced.

Verified with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-6.el7.x86_64
#  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=off 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='off' lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='metadata' lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
#  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=falloc 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='falloc' lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
#  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 -o preallocation=full 1G
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=1073741824 encryption=off cluster_size=65536 preallocation='full' lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16

So this bug is fixed.
