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: libguestfs-1.36.1-1.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Btrfs entries in `/etc/fstab` are now parsed correctly by *libguestfs* Previously, Btrfs sub-volume entries with more than one comma-separated option in `/etc/fstab` were not parsed properly by *libguestfs*. Consequently, Linux guest virtual machines with these configurations could not be inspected, and the *virt-v2v* utility could not convert them. With this update, *libguestfs* parses Btrfs sub-volume entries with more than one comma-separated option in `/etc/fstab` correctly. As a result, these entries can be inspected and converted by *virt-v2v*.

Hi rjones,
Could you help to see scenario1, why the conversion will be failed when not set subvol=foo in guest's /etc/fstab?

pls also help see the warning in scenario2, whether the warning is accepted?
Thanks

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-03-08 11:01:41 UTC
> /dev/sda4 /home btrfs rw,user,subvol 0 0

is incorrect syntax (it should always be subvol=PATH), so
virt-v2v is entitled to fail on this.

The error message (from lib/inspect-fs-unix.c:check_fstab)
isn't that great, but with the virt-v2v -v -x output it would
be trivial to see why it's failing so debugging this wouldn't
be too hard.

Comment 9 mxie@redhat.com 2017-03-09 10:32:16 UTC
Thanks for Richard's explanation, I just got the meaning of the line "/dev/sda4 /home btrfs rw,user,subvol=foo 0 0"


Verify the bug with builds again:
virt-v2v-1.36.2-1.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.36.2-1.el7.x86_64
libvirt-3.1.0-2.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-6.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Install a rhel7 guest and configure the /home as a single partition and device type is btrfs

2.Check the /etc/fstab after finishing os installation
#cat fstab 
....
UUID=b138e4bc-c35c-4917-976a-a00135b3d3e1 /                       ext4    defaults        1 1
UUID=23d0f88f-a199-418d-9e68-cfd9ad35b332 /home                   btrfs   subvol=home     0 0
UUID=5ead36b0-9556-49c3-81a1-01b7f560126f swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

3.Because /home is mounted by /dev/sda2, add below line into /etc/fstab

/dev/sda2  /home btrfs	rw,root,subvol=foo 0 0

4.Guest could rebooted normally after editting /etc/fstab

5.Power off the guest and then using virt-v2v convert the guest to rhvm,the conversion could be finished but with warning

    (100.00/100%)
[ 538.4] Creating output metadata
[ 538.5] Finishing off

6.Import the guest from export domain to data domain, power on the guest and checkpoints of guest are passed


Hi rjones,

Could you pls help check whether verify steps are enough and warning of conversion is correct?

Thanks
