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.

Patch to bring back large file support

Description of problem:
Using the latest git version (as of Aug. 7 2011), libvirt cannot open VM image whose size is superior to 2Go (on my system at least). It appears the regression has been introduced in commit 70e05fa6d033eeebaf7e072233b45d334d6139d8.
The attached patch partly reverts this commit to fix large file support (not sure wether it's the right way to fix it, since it's supposed to be handled by the gnulib).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Since 0.9.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a VM whose size is > 2Go.

Actual results:
Get this error:
12:57:21.637: 26033: error : virDomainDiskDefForeachPath:11380 : unable to open disk path /home/virtkvm/storage/VM1.img: Value too large for defined data type

This is likely to be a portability issue, what is the system you are using
and can you post the relevant part of the config.log configure ouput,

 thanks,

Daniel

Gnulib already invokes AC_SYS_LARGEFILE; re-adding it to configure.ac shouldn't be changing anything.

--- Additional comment from eblake on 2011-08-08 10:51:28 EDT ---

Oh - I see - this is a nasty bug in gnulib:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=7c185762
introduced modules/largefile, but mistakenly has 'configure.ac' listed twice, instead of the intended 'configure.ac-early' for AC_REQUIRE([AC_SYS_LARGEFILE]) and 'configure.ac' empty.  As a result, gnulib-tool is no longer invoking AC_SYS_LARGEFILE.

--- Additional comment from eblake on 2011-08-08 10:59:19 EDT ---

Regression introduced in libvirt commit 1c93fbbb, since that is the one that updated the gnulib submodule to include gnulib commit 7c18576.

Laurent's patch is appropriate for applying in backports where a full gnulib update is not appropriate.
Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2011-08-09 02:40:11 UTC 
Patch posted upstream but for RHEL-6.2 we will instead use the patch
provided in Bug #728772 as it doesn't require to updte gnulib
