Description of problem: 1. Download one of the Red Hat provided RHEL7 kvm qcow2 image[1]. * Or create an image, write some data and compress it. # man qemu-img | grep "be compressed" -c indicates that target image must be compressed (qcow format only) 2. Upload image to RHV (Admin Portal/API) 3. Copy disk to same SD (block) The copy fails with "CopyImageError: low level Image copy failed: No space left on device". The Red Hat provided image is compressed. The destination LV is not big enough to accommodate the result of the qemu-img convert because it expands without the "-c" option. Destination LV: 3c998305-ec3a-4d17-ab2c-44751c1667d8 43c67df7-2293-4756-9aa3-de09d67d7050 -wi-ao---- 1.00g Source LV: fb990cda-642e-4a11-93f7-b3fe3b29bc77 43c67df7-2293-4756-9aa3-de09d67d7050 -wi-ao---- 640.00m I understand the destination is 1GB due to volume_utilization_chunk_mb. But that specific image expands from 530MB to 1.2GB. For example, doing on my own laptop: # This is what VDSM does during the copy: # qemu-img convert -p -t none -T none -f qcow2 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 -O qcow2 -o compat=1.1 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm-2.qcow2 # This is an example of doing a convert with compression, so the Red Hat provided image stays the same size. # qemu-img convert -p -t none -T none -f qcow2 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 -O qcow2 -c -o compat=1.1 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm-3.qcow2 # ll -h rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm* -rw-r--r--. 1 gveitmic gveitmic 1.2G Sep 15 10:16 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm-2.qcow2 -rw-r--r--. 1 gveitmic gveitmic 531M Sep 15 10:17 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm-3.qcow2 -rw-rw-r--. 1 gveitmic gveitmic 531M Sep 15 09:54 rhel-server-7.4-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 The destination needs 1.2G, more than twice the size of the source and bigger than 1GB that VDSM rounded up (Virtual size is 10G, doesn't really matter).
