I'm having issues with a VM.
The VM was originally created under VMware and has worked fine for a
while. Today when I booted it up instead of seeing the usual MATE login
screen I get a login prompt:
f34-01-vm:
no matter what I enter, root or pgaltieri as login it never asks for
password and immediately says login incorrect. While it's booting I see
several [FAILED]... messages, e.g. [FAILED] to start CUPS Scheduler
I booted the system again and this time it dropped into emergency mode.
In emergency mode I see the following messages in dmesg:
BTRFS info (device sda2): flagging fs with big metadata feature
BTRFS info (device sda2): disk space caching is enabled
BTRFS info (device sda2): has skinny extents
BTRFS info (device sda2): start tree-log replay
BTRFS info (device sda2): parent transid verify failed on 61849600
wanted 145639 fount 145637
BTRFS info (device sda2): parent transid verify failed on 61849600
wanted 145639 fount 145637
BTRFS: error (device sda2) in btrfs_replay_log:2423 errno=-5 IO failure
(Failed to recover log tree)
BTRFS error (device sda2) open_ctree failed
I ran btrfs check in emergency mode and it came up with a lot of errors.
How do i recover the partition(s) so I can boot the system, or at least
mount them?
Also in emergency mode:
vi /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt
results in:
/usr/bin/vi: line 23: /usr/libexec/vi: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/vi is a script:
if test -f /usr/bin/vim
then
exec /usr/bin/vim "$@"
fi
exec /usr/libexec/vi "$@"
neither /usr/bin/vim nor /usr/libexec/vi exist.
======================================================================================
I tried booting the vm under VirtualBox with the same result.
I converted the image:
qemu-img convert -O qcow ../VMware/VMs/f34-01-vm/f34-01-vm.vmdk
f34-01-vm.qcow2
which worked without errors. I then ran virt-manager to try to boot the
image. This fails with this error

I added my user id to both the qemu and libvirt entries in /etc/group
and logged out and logged back in and I get the same error. I also get
SELinux alerts:
The first alert:
You need to change the label on f34-01-vm.qcow2'
# semanage fcontext -a -t virt_image_t
'/run/media/pgaltieri/SDNVIRTLAB02/VirtualMachines/KVM/f34-01-vm.qcow2'
# restorecon -v
'/run/media/pgaltieri/SDNVIRTLAB02/VirtualMachines/KVM/f34-01-vm.qcow2'
subsequent alerts tell me to run:
# /sbin/restorecon -v
/run/media/pgaltieri/SDNVIRTLAB02/VirtualMachines/KVM/f34-01-vm.qcow2
I have run these commands, especially the restorecon, several times and
I still get the alerts.
One thing the semanage command as shown fails with:
ValueError: File spec
/run/media/pgaltieri/SDNVIRTLAB02/VirtualMachines/KVM/f34-01-vm.qcow2
conflicts with equivalency rule '/run /var/run'; Try adding
'/var/run/media/pgaltieri/SDNVIRTLAB02/VirtualMachines/KVM/f34-01-vm.qcow2'
instead
If I add the /var then it works.
here is the context of the file:
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0
15041695744 Mar 18 11:46 f34-01-vm.qcow2*
So how the heck do I boot the image and get it running?
