I've been experimenting with sparse streams and found a bug. If you try to download a volume which doesn't support sparseness here's what happens: # virsh vol-download --sparse /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 /mnt/floppy/blah.raw # echo $? 0 # ls -lhs /mnt/floppy/bla.raw 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 30 12:40 /mnt/floppy/bla.raw That's not good. iSCSI doesn't know anything about sparseness so an error is expected here. Fortunately, the fix is fairly simple: # virsh vol-download --sparse /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 /mnt/floppy/bla.raw error: cannot close volume /dev/disk/by-path/ip-XX.XX.XX.XX:3260-iscsi-iqn.2017-03.com.blah:server-lun-0 error: Unable to seek to data: Invalid argument Michal Privoznik (2): virfdstream: Check for thread error more frequently fdstream: Report error from the I/O thread daemon/stream.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ src/util/virfdstream.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.13.0 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
