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.

Comment 16 Yanhui Ma 2015-12-03 02:22:46 UTC
reproduce the issue on x86_64:
host info:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-30.el7.x86_64
3.10.0-293.el7.x86_64

steps:
1.Create pv,vg and a 1GB lv on host:
qemu-img create -f raw sdb1 50G
losetup /dev/loop0 /home/sdb1
pvcreate /dev/loop0
vgcreate vg /dev/loop0
lvcreate -n lv1 -L 1G vg

2.Create image on the lv with a large virtual size on the host:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /dev/vg/lv1 80G

3.install a guest on the lv:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name lvtest -machine pc,accel=kvm,usb=off \
-m 6G -realtime mlock=off -smp 8,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 \
-uuid 95346a10-1828-403a-a610-ac5a52a29411 -no-user-config -nodefaults \

QEMU 2.3.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) info status 
VM status: running
(qemu) 
(qemu) info status 
VM status: paused (io-error)
(qemu) cont 
(qemu) info status 
VM status: running

4.Check guest running status in hmp with cmd 'info status' as that in step3, when it's in 'paused (io-error)' status, extend the lv on host with following cmd and then 'cont' the guest in hmp:
# lvextend -L +512M /dev/vg/lv1
5.Repeat step4 for another time to let the guest installation finish with enough disk space

results:
core dumped or the guest installation could not be finished after a long time

(qemu) info status 
VM status: paused (io-error)
(qemu) cont 
(qemu) ./qemubug1277922: line 19: 31721 Segmentation fault (core dumped) 

===================================================
verify the issue on x86_64:
host info:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.4.x86_64
3.10.0-327.4.1.el7.x86_64

steps:

steps are the same as above

results:
no core dumped, when extend lv to 4GB, the guest can be installed successfully.
