this 0 size is a weird as it can be.  Can you make sure that there is enough space/libvirt/qemu can write to that place on destination?

Thanks, Juan.

Hi,

I know you've mentioned on #qemu (OFTC) that changing from 'virtio-blk' 
to 'virtio-scsi' has "fixed the issue" for you.

Also, besides what Juan already asked above, one more:

Since you're doing migration, it can help to have full QMP transactions 
from source and destination host.  You can obtain that in the following
way:

(1) Install the `virt-admin` tool

(2) Configure the log file to capture the output:

    $> virt-admin daemon-log-outputs "1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log"

(3) Then, configure the dynamic log filters:

    $> virt-admin daemon-log-filters \
         "1:libvirt 1:qemu 1:conf 1:security 3:event 3:json 3:file 3:object 1:util"

That’s it; no need to restart the libvirt daemon. Repeat your test. And 
attach the /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log from source and destination to
the bug.

But first check what Juan has asked in comment#3, please.

There is plenty of space. If I just try to boot the VM on a non-upgraded hypervisor (so with qemu 5.2/libvirt 7.4) it boots fine.
And that is on the same storage/network/...

The disk size: 0 B ain't a big issue I think?
Docs tell me: '    How much space the image file occupies on the host file system (may be shown as 0 if this information is unavailable, e.g. because there is no file system)'
As this is a Windows machine, it might be the cause? This is the same on other VM's I checked also.

Also like mentioned above I was able to have it working again by switching from VirtIO to VirtIO-SCSI for the disk.
So it really seems to be some kind of Qemu issue.

Please note that this happend first after a migration.
But even a fresh start of the VM causes the same issue. So its unrelated to the migration.

I also tried to clone the VM that has this issue. And it was 100% reproducible on the clone.

you can see that the disk size is zero even for the block device.
You can't create a qcow2 block device on something that has size 0.

Later, Juan.

This is on my system, a normal file, not a block device, but qcow2 header will use the same size.

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/kk.img 10G

Notice how the disk file uses 196K, and qemu-img sees 196KB as disk size.  Comment one shows a disk size of 0.  Notice that this is a completely empty qcow2 disk image.

Seems like this is some qemu-img reporting issue.

So its qemu(-img) reporting a wrong size when its qcow2 on a blockdev.
Its not a blockdev issue itself.

Maybe this issue related to

I think this should be because of speculative preallocation algorithm of File System. Like XFS, you could check https://linux-xfs.oss.sgi.narkive.com/jjjfnyI1/faq-xfs-speculative-preallocation for more details.

You mean the error_policy on the disk device right?

Removed it, still throws the same error:

It doesn't go into a paused state now, but just hangs.
Doesn't crash with the message I reported in the other bug (IOV_MAX one).

Probably hang action prevented the crash.
Could you please help to try  change the device virtio-blk-pci to scsi-hd?
It indicates the image is fine if boot succeed without any issue.

If it boot succeed i think it still relevant with Bug 1994494.

or try latest qemu-kvm (>=29) if this issue fixed?

-device scsi-hd,bus=ua-18fca1d1-a616-48e9-94c0-0705f9b29e31.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,device_id=95854454-a9ca-4979-9bf1-cbe7024c93aa,drive=libvirt-1-format,id=ua-95854454-a9ca-4979-9bf1-cbe7024c93aa,bootindex=1,write-cache=on,serial=95854454-a9ca-4979-9bf1-cbe7024c93aa \

Then the VM boots fine and everything seems to be normal.
It happens indeed only on plain VirtIO. Not on VirtIO-SCSI

Maybe @etrunko could build a newer version?

As qemu-kvm-6.0.0-29.el8s was build today, I've directly tested it.
Can confirm that this fixed the above issue!
