Comment 7 Miya Chen 2009-12-01 00:52:24 EST
Test with werror=stop in build kvm-83-105.el5_4.12 again, VM can stop on read
errors.

steps:
Step:
1. create a local nfs server in host, then
mount localhost:/root/test-nfs /mnt -o rw,soft,timeo=1,retrans=0
cd /mnt
qemu-img create test-533390.qcow2 -f qcow2 10G


2. start guest:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -rtc-td-hack -no-hpet -usbdevice tablet -cpu qemu64,+sse2
-drive
file=RHEL-Server-5.4-64-virtio.qcow2,if=ide,format=qcow2,cache=off,werror=stop
-smp 2 -m 2G -vnc :1 -net nic,macaddr=20:20:20:11:12:56,model=virtio,vlan=0
-net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vlan=0 -monitor stdio -drive
file=/mnt/test-533390.qcow2,if=ide,format=qcow2,cache=off,werror=stop


3. in guest:
fdisk /dev/hdb
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/dev/null


4. in host:
service nfs stop

5. In host dmesg:
nfs: server localhost not responding, timed out


Result:
In qemu monitor
(qemu)info status
VM status: paused
Comment 8 Miya Chen 2009-12-01 01:01:25 EST
additional info:
after VM paused, it can be restored by inputting "c" in qemu monitor, and works
fine.

steps:
1. in host:
service nfs start
2. In qemu monitor
(qemu)c
