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 daiwei 2011-09-22 06:10:52 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.190.el6.x86_64
2.6.32-198.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
2/2

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a qcow2 image size > 2T with cluster_size=512
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /home/qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2 2500G -o cluster_size=512
Formatting '/home/qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=2684354560000 encryption=off cluster_size=512 
# qemu-img check /home/qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2 
No errors were found on the image.
# qemu-img info qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2 
image: qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 2.4T (2684354560000 bytes)
disk size: 627M
cluster_size: 512

2.install a guest OS
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M rhel6.2.0 -enable-kvm -name RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big -smp 2 -m 2G -uuid `uuidgen` -boot menu=on -drive file=/home/qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=none,aio=native,media=disk,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=44:37:E6:5E:A3:F6 -drive file=/home/RHEL6.2-Server-x86_64.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,readonly=on,format=raw,id=drive-ide1-0-0 -device ide-drive,drive=drive-ide1-0-0,id=ide1-0-0,bootindex=1 -vnc :2 -balloon none -monitor stdio

3.
  
Actual results:
After step2, when formatting disk image, guest stopped due to:
(qemu) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Unknown error 2038412288 (2038412288)

#qemu-img check qcow2/RHEL-Server-6.2-64_big.qcow2
Leaked cluster 2932994 refcount=1 reference=0
Leaked cluster 2932995 refcount=1 reference=0
...
Leaked cluster 4407295 refcount=1 reference=0

295 leaked clusters were found on the image.
This means waste of disk space, but no harm to data



Expected results:

What happens with default cluster size (of 64k)?

Comment 3 daiwei 2011-09-22 08:46:16 UTC
With default cluster size 64k,no issue.
