Package: qemu Version: 0.9.0-2 Please consider applying the patch by Juergen Klein to fix a qcow2 image corruption, that was posted to qemu-devel on March 30th:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09433.html Without the patch, converting a ~100GB disk image to qcow2 resulted in reproducible corruption of the image. The same may happen in regular use if a qcow2 image grows and makes an increase of the refcount table necessary. This may even warrant severity grave (data loss), but as I don't know how probable triggering this bug is, I chose not to increase severity. (For reference, here is the patch. Copied by cut&paste, so it may be whitespace-corrupted and may not apply) Index: block-qcow2.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/qemu/qemu/block-qcow2.c,v retrieving revision 1.4 diff -u -B -r1.4 block-qcow2.c --- block-qcow2.c 7 Aug 2006 02:38:06 -0000 1.4 +++ block-qcow2.c 30 Mar 2007 19:19:41 -0000 @@ -1933,6 +1941,7 @@ qemu_free(s->refcount_table); s->refcount_table = new_table; s->refcount_table_size = new_table_size; + s->refcount_table_offset = table_offset; update_refcount(bs, table_offset, new_table_size2, 1); return 0; This patch has already been applied to upstream CVS. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-vserver-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.3+20070705-2 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.14a-2 ALSA library ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20070825-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.11-9 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii openhackware 0.4.1-2 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii proll 18-2 JavaStation PROM 2.x compatible re ii vgabios 0.6a-2 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.3 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.6.3-1 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii vde2 2.1.6+r154-1+b1 Virtual Distributed Ethernet -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
