Public bug reported: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64 libvirt 0.9.8-2ubuntu17.1
Please check this bug report at Red Hat and backport the fix from upstream, as it also affects libvirt as shipped in Ubuntu 12.04 and is quite an annoyance / makes using virt-clone unrealiable: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795400 Description of problem: Using virt-clone or the virt-manager changes the image format of the copied image file to raw if the source (and destination) is a qcow2 file. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a VM with a qcow2-based image file 2. use virt-clone --auto-clone (or any other valid options) 3. try to start the clone, the harddisk is not bootable Actual results: VM cannot boot. Expected results: The VM should boot. Additional info: Changing the image-file-format in the XML back to qcow2 will allow the VM boot. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005810 Title: virt-clone changes the image format to raw To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1005810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
