Hi,
I am trying to install a C6 VM on C6 using the text installer using:
# virt-install -n C6_1 -r 3072 --os-variant=rhel6 -l \ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/centos.org/CentOS/6.3/os/x86_64/ --disk \ path=/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 -w network:default --nographics \ -x "console=ttyS0" --autostart
/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 has been successfully created. The installation starts but once I get to the disk partitioning no disk is listed and I cannot continue the installation.
Even worse, if I press space on the empty list CPU usage goes up to 100% for the qemu-kvm process.
WAG? Is there a partition on the lv that the installer can find? I run into this all the time when using an lv storage pool and an lv based virtio drive. I first have to fdisk the newly allocated drive and do a partprobe before the vm guest will recognize that it has the space.
