[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1089281] [NEW] kvm crash when writing on disk

[xavy]

Public bug reported:

When running the following command:

/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.0 -cpu qemu32 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp
1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name winxp -uuid f86ef88f-b90e-699a-
74b8-9675063fc26e -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev
socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/winxp.monitor,server,nowait
-mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-
shutdown -device lsi,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -drive

-usb -device usb-mouse,id=input0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0,password -k de -vga
cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5


running a windows installation (for instance, it has crashed with other OS), 
when the guest OS installer has reached 60% of the copying files process, the 
following errors can be found, and KVM gets Force Closed (i am recollecting 
errors from different times I have tried to references to memory positions may 
vary)

syslog:

Libvirtd versions are these:

I have checked bug  #1022901 in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/1022901  due to
the similarity of the error "internal error End of file from monitor",
but the sintoms are not the same as long as the partition where the img
file resides has plenty of space and so does the img itself:

address@hidden:/home/ebox-remote-support# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       226G  3.4G  211G   2% /

Can you help us to solve this? Case you needed any information else, please do 
not hesitate to ask for it
