Description Sibiao Luo 2012-11-13 05:13:22 UTC
Description of problem:
boot a guest with a data disk (lv block device), and create live snapshot to a unexisting block device, but fail to prompt 'No such file or directory'.
btw, if specify the local file, it can give the prompt correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm-rhev
2.6.32-340.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.334.el6.x86_64
guest info:
# uname -r
2.6.32-340.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a guest with a data disk(lv block device).
# lvscan 
  ACTIVE            '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/lv-luo-live-snapshot-system' [10.00 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/sluo-base' [2.00 GiB] inherit
eg:...-drive file=/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/sluo-base,if=none,id=data-scsi-disk,format=qcow2,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,addr=0x7 -device scsi-hd,scsi-id=0,lun=0,bus=scsi1.0,drive=data-scsi-disk,id=data-disk
2.make live snapshot with the data disk to a unexisting block device.
QMP monitor:
{ "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-sync", "arguments": { "device": "data-scsi-disk", "snapshot-file": "/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test", "format": "qcow2" } }
HMP monitor:
(qemu) snapshot_blkdev data-scsi-disk /dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test qcow2

Actual results:
after step 2,
{ "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-sync", "arguments": { "device": "data-scsi-disk", "snapshot-file": "/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test", "format": "qcow2" } }
{"error": {"class": "OpenFileFailed", "desc": "Could not open '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test': Invalid argument", "data": {"filename": "/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test", "__com.redhat_error_message": "Invalid argument"}}}
(qemu) snapshot_blkdev data-scsi-disk /dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test qcow2
Formatting '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test', fmt=qcow2 size=2147483648 backing_file='/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/sluo-snap1' backing_fmt='qcow2' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 
Could not open '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test': Invalid argument

Expected results:
it should prompt 'No such file or directory', like:
QMP monitor:
{ "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-sync", "arguments": { "device": "data-scsi-disk", "snapshot-file": "/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test", "format": "qcow2" } }
{"error": {"class": "OpenFileFailed", "desc": "Could not open '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test': No such file or directory", "data": {"filename": "/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test", "__com.redhat_error_message": "No such file or directory"}}}
HMP monitor:
(qemu) snapshot_blkdev data-scsi-disk /dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test qcow2
Formatting '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test', fmt=qcow2 size=2147483648 backing_file='/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/sluo-snap1' backing_fmt='qcow2' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 
/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test: error while creating qcow2: No such file or directory
Could not open '/dev/vg_sluo_live_snapshot/test': Invalid argument

Additional info:
btw, if specify the local file, it can give the prompt correctly.
QMP monitor:
{ "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-sync", "arguments": { "device": "data-scsi-disk", "snapshot-file": "/test/sluo", "format": "qcow2" } }
{"error": {"class": "OpenFileFailed", "desc": "Could not open '/test/sluo': No such file or directory", "data": {"filename": "/test/sluo", "__com.redhat_error_message": "No such file or directory"}}} 
HMP monitor:

/test/sluo: error while creating qcow2: No such file or directory
Could not open '/test/sluo': No such file or directory

The most important thing to check is the more complete 'desc' key. It's very important that add the errno string (as returned by strerror()) and the errno value to OPenFileFailed's error message. please correct me if any error & thx.

Best Regards.
