The guest qemu usually sees passthrough virtualised disks as 512/512, despite actually being a 4k disk. The partitioning tables should still work correctly.
The actual errors observed remind disk-size maximum limitations of grub itself - 8TB is large. I will investigate grub source code further to find the root cause. In the mean time, one workaround that you could try is to perform manual partitioning and create a separate /boot mount point: (PReP partion should be automatically created/enforced) /boot - 1GB / - 7.2TB swap - 25.1GB Or something similar. Hopefully making grub succeed by not reading the biggest partition to retrieve and boot the kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619470 Title: Ubuntu-KVM:Install Ubuntu16.04.01 OS consistently failed on big size DASD Libra HE10 8TB drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1619470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
