Comment 3 FuXiangChun 2011-06-23 10:08:03 UTC
since only LV(/dev/vg0/data1) can reproduce this issue. in order to reproduce this bug i did below two testing:  
1. i reinstall guest on LV(/dev/vg0/data1) and run dd command in guest 
2. use other LV to start vm and run dd command in guest

but all can not reproduce this bug, i am not sure how to trigger it.

Comment 4 Kevin Wolf 2011-06-27 09:36:35 UTC
Can you please try qemu-img check on this image? Do you know if there have been I/O errors?

Comment 5 FuXiangChun 2011-06-28 01:22:30 UTC
for block device qemu-img don't support check option. 
# qemu-img check /dev/vg0/data1
qemu-img: This image format does not support checks

Comment 6 Kevin Wolf 2011-06-28 11:24:27 UTC
Try the -f option:

# qemu-img check -f qcow2 /dev/vg0/data1

Comment 7 FuXiangChun 2011-06-29 01:47:35 UTC
hi kevin

   as i suspect guest maybe have problems that lead to core dump, so i reinstalled guest and try to reproduce it on lv data1. but after reinstall guest this bug can not be reproduced. now lv data1 haven't any errors and guest work well. 
# qemu-img check -f qcow2 /dev/vg0/data1
No errors were found on the image.

Comment 8 Kevin Wolf 2011-07-29 07:59:42 UTC
There seems to be a real bug somewhere, but it hasn't been reproduced so far and we don't have any useful information about the broken image. Closing.
