Can't use AES encryption in qcow2
Last modified: 2009-03-25 07:53:01 EDT
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-img-0.9.1-10.fc10.x86_64 kvm-74-10.fc10.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. qemu-img create -f qcow2 foo.img 100M 2. qemu-kvm -m 128 -hda foo.img => qemu window opens, system starts booting (and fails because there is no OS installed) 3. qemu-img create -e -f qcow2 foo.img 100M (note: no password prompt - I'd sort of expect one) 4. qemu-kvm -m 128 -hda foo.img => qemu-kvm just sits there, no window opens, no prompt appears. strace shows a loop of select(0, [], [], [], {0, 10000})
There was some monitor rework done by Jan Kiszka upstream, but I don't know if the new code entered the Fedora package. There were two patches I've sent to fix a similar issue, but before the monitor rework. They are on this thread: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/37762
Thanks for the report. I've confirmed this is broken in F10. With rawhide, it works for me using '-monitor stdio': qemu-kvm -S -monitor stdio -vnc :1 -m 128 -hda foo.img QEMU 0.10.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) cont ide0-hd0 (foo.img) is encrypted. Password: **** (qemu) quit Without '-monitor stdio', you need to hit Ctrl-Alt-2 to get to the qemu monitor and you'll see that you've been prompted for the password. Closing as fixed in rawhide because we're unlikely to fix it in F10.
