Hi, Sometimes it's nice to find a mail with good news. A while back I reported corruption with qcow2, with the subject "qcow2 corruption observed, fixed by reverting old change". I'd noticed that kvm-83 was corrupting a Windows 2k disk image, which was failing to boot, blue screening quite early. I found there was a qcow2 bug introduced from kvm-72 to kvm-73, and another from kvm-76 to kvm-77. Reverting both fixed this symptom. In order to check the bug later, I kept a copy of the disk image which blue screened. It still crashes with kvm-84. The release notes indicate there were some qcow2 fixes in that version; they were not enough to fix this problem. There were more qcow2 fixes in kvm-85. Happily, I can now report that kvm-85 and kvm-88 both boot this image with no apparent problems, and I will be deleting this junk disk image now that I'm confident no further testing is required :-) Thanks! -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
