Hi, Should following behavior considered to be normal? $ rbd map test-rack0/debiantest --user qemukvm --secret qemukvm.key $ fdisk /dev/rbd1 Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/rbd1: 671 MB, 671088640 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 81 cylinders, total 1310720 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4194304 bytes / 4194304 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00056f14 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/rbd1p1 2048 63487 30720 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. /dev/rbd1p2 63488 1292287 614400 83 Linux Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. Meanwhile, in the guest vm over same image: fdisk /dev/vda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/vda: 671 MB, 671088640 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1300 cylinders, total 1310720 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00056f14 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 2048 63487 30720 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/vda2 63488 1292287 614400 83 Linux The real pain starts when I try to repartition disk from after 'rbd map' using its geometry - it simply broke partition layout, for example, first block offset moves from 2048b to 8192. Of course I can specify geometry by hand, but before that I may need to start vm at least once or do something else which will print me out actual layout.
