RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Cole Robinson 2011-03-08 19:00:19 UTC
We aren't properly raising error messages if volume creation fails.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673028 as an example.

Fixed upstream:

http://hg.fedorahosted.org/hg/python-virtinst/rev/6927884e174e

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2011-03-10 16:38:54 UTC
Fixed in python-virtinst-0.500.5-2.el6

Comment 3 Nan Zhang 2011-03-18 08:58:21 UTC
Verified with python-virtinst-0.500.5-2.el6.noarch, it now can raise the error messages if specifying a wrong volume format type. Move to VERIFIED.

# virt-install -n test1 -r 512 --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/boot/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso --vcpus=2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img,size=5,format=asdf --hvm --accelerate --os-variant=virtio26 --network network:default --noreboot --vnc

Starting install...
ERROR    internal error unknown disk format 'asdf' for /var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
  virsh --connect qemu:///system start test1
otherwise, please restart your installation.
