Hi All,
If I use sparce=true or false I end up with a 100Gb qcow2 (raw) file. However
If I look at the disk size in virt-manager the file is 20Gb.
I am having problems with mounting the / partition during the install.
I am using this virt-install command to create and install a RHEL 6 VM on F20
(updated OS as of today):
virt-install \
--connect qemu:///system \
--name Stage \
--memory 2048 \
--vcpus=1,maxvcpus=4 \
--accelerate \
--os-variant rhel6 \
--os-type linux \
--disk
path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/stage.qcow2,cache=none,bus=virtio,size=100,sparse=true,format=qcow2
\
--network bridge=bridge0 \
--virt-type qemu \
--graphics vnc \
--location=/ISOs/rhel-server-6.4-x86_64-dvd.iso \
--initrd-inject=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6-ks.ks \
--extra-args "ks=file:/rhel6-ks.ks" \
&
The /var/lib/libvirt/images directory is a glusterfs file system, between two
machines (kvm1 and kvm2) and images are supposed to reside on this mount.
and this kickstart file (rhel6-ks.ks):
#RHEL 6 KS file
interactive
install
cdrom
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard uk
network --onboot=yes --device=eth0 --bootproto=dhcp
--hostname=v-dst-stgjah-01.nexus.xxxxxxx.com

volgroup vg_rhel6 pv.008002
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_rhel6 --size=15000
logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_rhel6 --size=4096
logvol /repos --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_repos --vgname=vg_rhel6 --grow --size=100

@core
@directory-client
@hardware-monitoring
@java-platform
@large-systems
@network-file-system-client
@performance
@server-platform
@server-policy
wget
%end
The error message I get from anaconda: "An error occurred mounting device
/dev/mapper/vg_rhel6-lv_root at / mount failed: (9, None)."
Manually creating the disk using the truncate command also same problem.
I have created other RHEL 6 VMs on 10G disks and the OS installs without any
problems.
