Hello Eric,

it has been quite a while since we have looked at this :). I'm
revisiting this problem and I find that it still exists. Here is an
archive link of our previous discussions on this:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-July/thread.html#00809

Basically, when I do a migration and run out of disk space I do not see
a meaningful error message without this patch. Early on in our previous
discussions you asked me how I had gotten through the
qemuDomainSaveMemory function without hitting this code:

if (virFileWrapperFdClose(wrapperFd) < 0)
         goto cleanup;

If qemuMigrationToFile fails we go directly to cleanup and do not pass
through the virFileWrapperFdClose call. For reference:

     /* Perform the migration */
     if (qemuMigrationToFile(driver, vm, fd, offset, path,
                             qemuCompressProgramName(compressed),
                             bypassSecurityDriver,
                             asyncJob) < 0)
         goto cleanup;

This is why my patch adds the additional call to virFileWrapperFdClose.
Perhaps, if we cannot tolerate calling it twice, I can adjust the code
such that we only call it once.

For some odd reason, you seem to see messages that I do not (take look
at my final message in the thread linked above). I was not able to see
your "goodbye world \n" message.

I would be interested to know what you see when you run my test case
without my patch. If you feel like trying it just create a 50MB disk
image and loop mount it:

   mount -o loop /usr/local/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save.img
/usr/local/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save

Then:
     virsh managedsave guestname

And report what you saw on the command line and the libvirtd console
and/or log depending on how you run the daemon. I suspect (since you saw
"goodbye world") that you would also see the out of disk space message
ok. If I'm correct, then the question becomes... why don't I see it too? :)

Thanks for your time.


Polite Ping? :)
