CentOS-6.6
virt-manager 0.9.0
I have cloned a template server with a 32GB virtio HDD already defined
and am attempting to add additional virtio disks. The basic cloned
system boots without error.
If I create a virtio disk with 32000/32000 megabytes I can add it and
the system reboots; providing that I do not first create a partition:
fdisk -l /dev/vg_vhost03/lv_vm_inet11.harte-lyne.ca_03
Disk /dev/vg_vhost03/lv_vm_inet11.harte-lyne.ca_03: 33.6 GB,
33554432000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4079 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x02ec08ff
Device Boot Start
End Blocks Id System
However, in that event I cannot see the new disk:
/dev/mapper/vg_inet01b-lv_root /
ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=218fd81f-6811-4965-b8d5-b0098a569598 /boot
ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/vg_inet01b-lv_tmp /tmp
ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/vg_inet01b-lv_log /var/log
ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/vg_inet01b-lv_spool /var/spool
ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/vg_inet01b-lv_swap swap
swap defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm
tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts
devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys
sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc
proc defaults 0 0
If I do partition the disk thus:
fdisk -l /dev/vg_vhost03/lv_vm_inet11.harte-lyne.ca_03
Disk /dev/vg_vhost03/lv_vm_inet11.harte-lyne.ca_03: 33.6 GB,
33554432000 bytes
109 heads, 61 sectors/track, 9856 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 6649 * 512 = 3404288 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x02ec08ff
Device Boot Start
End Blocks Id System
/dev/vg_vhost03/lv_vm_inet11.harte-lyne.ca_03p1 1
9857 32766976 83 Linux
Then when I boot the vm it fails with a kernel panic. If I remove the
disk or remove the partition from that disk then the cloned system
will boot successfully.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
