Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.zip libvirt-0.8.7-16.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.153.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start a WinXp guest which is installed on IDE raw image 2.hotplug a virtio raw image into the guest 3.load the virtio storage driver -- viostor 4.try to partition the new virtio partition Actual results: guest got a crash Expected results: could partition the guest successfully without crash Additional info:
after the crash, libvirtd is still running # service libvirtd status libvirtd (pid 3380) is running... Tried virtio-win-1.1.16-4.el6 . Also met this crash .
Created attachment 491978 [details] /var/log/messages log Tried ide raw image as well . Didn't encounter the crash
seting blocker ? is because from libvirt functional testing, we did hotplug virtio disk -> partition the disk -> hot unplug virtio disk . Then if we got guest crash after partitioning , we can't do the hot unplug operation .
Repeat the operation for about 10 times , on http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL6.1-20110406.0/6.1/Server/x86_64/os/ virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.zip libvirt-0.8.7-16.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.153.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-130.el6.x86_64 And now , the reproducible percentage should be 20% .
Does it work w/o hot plug? I cleared the blocker flag since we cannot hold the release just for this.
Hot plug/hot unplug should work fine for non-system virtio drive. Do you have a crash dump file?

(In reply to comment #6) > Does it work w/o hot plug? without partition , hotplug/ hot unplug work fine .
Tried more than 50 times with the same kernel/qemu-kvm/libvirt/virtio-win version and steps, tested both qcow2 and raw image, can not reproduce it. So I will close it as WORKSFORME. Please reopen if it can reproduce again. Thanks.
