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 Zhengtong 2015-08-11 09:23:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

Do drive_mirror through qmp on raw type drive, target mirror file size is not normal. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-16.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start guest on powerpc with raw type drive:
qemu-kvm ...
-drive file=/root/test_home/liuzt/vdisk/rhel7.2_be_dataplane.raw,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none,rerror=stop,werror=stop \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3,bootindex=1 \
...

2.After guest boot up , do drive_mirror with qmp cli.

{ "execute":  "drive-mirror", "arguments": { "device": "drive-scsi0-0-0-0", "target":  "/root/test_home/liuzt/vdisk/mirror.raw", "format": "raw", "mode": "absolute-paths", "sync":  "full", "speed": 1000000000, "on-source-error": "stop",  "on-target-error": "stop" } }

3.Check target file /root/test_home/liuzt/vdisk/mirror.raw

Actual results:

/root/test_home/liuzt/vdisk/mirror.raw exist, but the size is always 196K. 

Expected results:

the size should be same with that of origin drive image.

Does this only happen on ppc64? i.e. did you try it on x86_64, too?

Yes , it works well on X86.
Comment 5 Thomas Huth 2016-01-20 11:20:02 UTC 
Ok, I've just tried it with qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.5.ppc64le, and I was not able to reproduce this problem. The mirror.raw had the right size. Zhengtong, could you please try whether you can still reproduce this problem with the latest version of qemu-kvm-rhev on ppc64le? Also, is there any output from QEMU? For me it says something like:
 Formatting '/root/test_home/liuzt/vdisk/mirror.raw', fmt=raw size=10739318784
when I issue the QMP command. Do you get a similar message or maybe even an error message?
Comment 6 Zhengtong 2016-01-21 02:49:33 UTC 
Hi , Thomas , the bug seems fixed already in some versions before. I can't reproduce it any more , either. The qemu message is "Formatting '/root/test_home/liuzt/vdisk/mirror.raw', fmt=raw size=21474836480",  After the process finished , the size if normal (1.5G in my test). So this bug could be closed.
Comment 7 Thomas Huth 2016-01-21 07:20:10 UTC 
Ok, closing since it seems to be fixed in the current version already.
