Hi All,
I am unable to figure out the issue here, when I try to create a filesystem (ext4) on a virtual disk using qemu-nbd. This happens intermittently.
Following is the sequence of commands:-
$> qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 30G
$> qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 test.qcow2
$> mkfs.ext4 /dev/nbd0
mkfs.ext4: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition specified, or
Thu Jun 13 14:44:24 2019 partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to
Thu Jun 13 14:44:24 2019 a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot
Thu Jun 13 14:44:24 2019 to re-read your partition table.
Following is the version details:
