Hi, Trying to understand the current state of affairs with QCOW support in Xen with the blktap driver. It''s been made clear that a deviation from QEMU''s implementation of QCOW has occurred and that the QCOW files used in Xen must be created with the associated Xen tools only (e.g. qcow-create) and that images between QEMU and Xen are not interchangeable. My first question is

Hello, This is a second post, with a trial which is different from the first one , in order to solve my blcok-attach problem. I tried the following two actions, according to the blktap readme: qcow-create 1000 qcowFile.img Creating file size 1048576000 Created cksum: 1813725440 then xm block-attach 0 tap:qcow:qcowFile.img /dev/xvda1 w 0 I see in the /var/log/xen/xend.log: [2007-03-13

Hi, I want to ask if anyone of you is familiar with QCOW and has used this with xen? I''ve googled a bit about and could''nt really find out if it''s a good choice or not. Has anyone experience with usage in xen and can say something about performance and snapshot usability? Thanks in advance, Alex _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing

I''m trying to create a pv guest with qcow/qcow2 disk image by xl, it always fails atlibxl_device_disk_local_attach. #xl create pv_config_file libxl: error: libxl.c:1119:libxl_device_disk_local_attach: cannot locally attach a qdisk image if the format is not raw libxl: error: libxl_create.c:467:do_domain_create: failed to run bootloader: -3 Does that mean we cannot create such a pv guest

tags 490409 + patch thanks Hi, The following is the diff for my xen-3 3.2.1-2.1 NMU. It incorporates three patches from upstream and aims to fix CVE-2008-2004 aka #490409. It is not yet tested much, I would appreciate if interested parties could give it a try. I'll upload in due course. Kind regards T. diff -u xen-3-3.2.1/debian/control.md5sum xen-3-3.2.1/debian/control.md5sum ---

For many months now we have been trying to create a file-backed qcow image with the qcow-create code. Each time we try to back a file with a qcow, it screams: *** buffer overflow detected ***: qcow-create terminated Below is the output from two different attempts and information about qcow-create. Any ideas/thoughts/help you can offer? Thank you for your help! -Eric [root@trogdor ~]#

Recently we had a try of stubdom, whose general status is good. One issue we found is with aio/sync blktap as backend, disk performance is obviously slower, and there are some IDE kernel error messages (like irq timeout) at boot time. Another issue (not stubdom specific) comes from blktap''s support for QCOW image which is based on a backing file. We never tried this configure

LOCAL_LIBAIO is prolly a crappy name, but this patch will enable a tool build to select either the local or the system provided libaio. Note, it only builds the local libaio.a so the linker get the right one automatically, so you''ll want to "make -C tools/libaio clean". -JX --- diff -r 1f611b58729f tools/Makefile --- a/tools/Makefile Wed Aug 09 18:53:00 2006 -0400 +++

Attached to this email is a patch containing the (new and improved) blktap Linux driver and associated userspace tools for Xen. In addition to being more flavourful, containing half the fat, and removing stains twice as well as the old driver, this stuff adds a userspace block backend and let you use raw (without loopback), qcow, and vmdk-based image files for your domUs. There''s also a

Hi, Currently, we mount all blktap disks for pygrub so that it can boot from e.g. QCOW images. However, since pygrub will handle a raw image just fine without mounting through blktap, we shouldn''t bother in that case. Also, it looks like XendDomainInfo.create_vbd() takes the full disk uname rather than the image path. Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Cheers,

All, is it possible to create a new KVM machine from an existing qcow (v3) image with snapshots? snapshot-list doesn't show them, when using virt-manager 1:1.5.1-0ubuntu1.1 to create the machine. * t-ad5.img: QEMU QCOW Image (v3), 42949672960 bytes chris@cd:/data/md0$ qemu-img snapshot -l t-ad5.img Snapshot list: ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK 1

Hi,guys, During a HVM''s running which take a qcow format image file as its own virtual disk, the qcow image file will be always read.In the situation that its qcow format image is based on a raw format image, if nesethe backingfile ,just that raw format image file,would be read .my purpose is to cache the data that is read from the backingfile when the hvm is running . Now what I concern

Hi, i would like to use qcow2-sparse-images which point to a backup-file. After reading this: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/DmUserspace i figured out that this feature seems to be unsupported by the ubuntu 8.04 LTS kernel and xen-3.2.1. Is this a ubuntu-specific problem, or is it solved in Suse, Red Hat, XenSource, whatever? When i try to block-attach it, xm displays no error, but the

Dear,Beg for your help. I am really puzzled with this problem.HVM domain can not boot up with Qcow incremental image(using command: qcow-create size incremental_file original_Qcow_img_file), but it can boot up with the original Qcow disk image file. When using Qcow incremental image, the guest qemu window would disappear before loading grub, and `xm list` can not find this guest domain.The VM

I have been messing with QCOW on Xen and I''ve come to the conclusion that nobody actually uses it otherwise it would work. Has anyone gotten QCOW2 and Xen to work reliably? I have 40 PV VMs that are identical (initially) and would like to move from separate disk images to one base image sitting in a ramdisk and the COW images hosted on an iSCSI storage device. The VMs would boot off the

Hello xen-users, I am trying to access a guest disk that was created using qcow-create from dom0 using xl block-attach/block-detach, which appears to be the current "Xen way" of doing it. However, after the following command, no /dev/xvdb is appearing: $ xl block-attach 0 tap:qcow2:/home/root/images/test.img xvdb I am using Xen 4.1.2 (installed from source tarball) with an Ubuntu

I''ve a problem with the syntax of qcow images on HVM guest. In my configuration file i''ve this string disk = [''tap:aio:/mnt/qcowwin,hda1,w''] Is it correct???
