Description Mark McLoughlin 2009-04-30 10:50:52 UTC
Booting a guest with a qcow2 image and the virtio block backend, I get filesystem errors and disk corruption e.g.:

  ext4_abort called.
  EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
  Remounting filesystem read-only

I don't get this with raw disk images or the IDE block backend

Command line:
  qemu-kvm -S -M pc -m 1024 -smp 2
           -drive index=0,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/f11-preview.snap1.qcow2,
                  format=qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on
           -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:6c:05:22,model=virtio
           -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup
           -nographic -serial telnet::4445,server,nowait -monitor stdio

The disk image was created by installing F11Preview to a raw disk image, converting to qcow2 and then creating a COW image backed by it.

I've also reproduced this with qemu-kvm.git's maint/2.6.30 branch (kvm-84-239-g50cc670)

Tempted to add this to F11VirtBlocker, but since qcow2 isn't often used by Fedora users I'll leave it on F11VirtTarget.
