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 of problem:
insufficient disk space during guest installation when use qcow2 img which created by qemu-img
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-virtinst-0.500.5-3.el6.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create qcow2 image using qemu-img
#qemu-img create /tmp/test.img 4G -f qcow2
Formatting '/tmp/test.img', fmt=qcow2 size=4294967296 encryption=off cluster_size=0
2:# qemu-img info test.img
image: test.img
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 4.0G (4294967296 bytes)
disk size: 136K
cluster_size: 65536
2.use virt-install to install a guest
#virt-install -n test -r 1024 --hvm --accelerate -c /tmp/img/rhel61.iso --disk path=/tmp/test.img,format=qcow2
3.during guest installation:
Which type of installation would you like?
select "Use All Space" or "Replace Existing Linux System" and continue
after select server type:
Actual results:
an error dialog shown up
insufficient disk space
You need more space on the following file systems:
93M on /
only occur on 4G img file, 6G and 8G can worked well.
Expected results:
installation continue
Additional info:
if select create custom layout,and create partition manually, install will succeed.
Sounds like the default OS install just uses more than 4G of space, so I don't think this is a bug. Closing as NOTABUG
Unless you are saying this is specific to qcow2 or sparse images or something. If so, please reopen.
