Hi Rod, I did try to recreate with the qemu version that you have. $ apt install apache2 qemu-system-x86 $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/www/html/test.img 1G # local $ qemu-img check test.img No errors were found on the image. # remote $ qemu-img check http://localhost:80/test.img No errors were found on the image. Image end offset: 262144
Local check and remote check both work just fine. I recognized the image that you have there and then did: $ cd /var/www/html/ $ wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img # local $ qemu-img check bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img No errors were found on the image. 16651/36032 = 46.21% allocated, 98.92% fragmented, 98.49% compressed clusters Image end offset: 344195072 # remote $ qemu-img check http://localhost:80/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img <hangs> Therefore I can confirm the behavior you described. ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: qemu Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848556 Title: qemu-img check failing on remote image in Eoan Status in QEMU: Confirmed Bug description: The "qemu-img check" function is failing on remote (HTTP-hosted) images, beginning with Ubuntu 19.10 (qemu-utils version 1:4.0+dfsg- 0ubuntu9). With previous versions, through Ubuntu 19.04/qemu-utils version 1:3.1+dfsg-2ubuntu3.5, the following worked: $ /usr/bin/qemu-img check http://10.193.37.117/cloud/eoan-server-cloudimg-amd64.img No errors were found on the image. 19778/36032 = 54.89% allocated, 90.34% fragmented, 89.90% compressed clusters Image end offset: 514064384 The 10.193.37.117 server holds an Apache server that hosts the cloud images on a LAN. Beginning with Ubuntu 19.10/qemu-utils 1:4.0+dfsg- 0ubuntu9, the same command never returns. (I've left it for up to an hour with no change.) I'm able to wget the image from the same server and installation on which qemu-img check fails. I've tried several .img files on the server, ranging from Bionic to Eoan, with the same results with all of them.
