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.

Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When saving a domain onto disk, libvirt injects this iohelper process in between to be able to do aligned writes (these are important when by-passing kernel caches). This process basically reads data from qemu into internal buffer and write it into passed file. Consequence: With right combination of filesystem where the destination file resides and bad timing it was possible that data was not written and kernel did not report out of space error (ENOSPC). For instance, NFS polls for the free space on NFS server, so data lives in kernel cache and writing application has no clue about the error. The error is reported when kernel decides to send data to NFS server, however the iohelper process may have already exited meanwhile. Fix: The proper fix is to issue fdatasync() which enforce data to be actually written onto disk. This will catch any write error (even ENOSPC). Result: If there is any write error, it can be caught and reported not ignored as before.
