Hello,
I am trying to use virt-resize. It does not work. I set the debug environment variables
and ran libguestfs-test-tool. The following is its output. I am running RHEL 6.5 desktop
with kernel:
Linux hustedm-lnx4 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 10 14:46:43 EST 2014 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Please let me know what I have missed.
Thanks,
Mark

This is not good! Does KVM generally work on this machine? Do you
have VirtualBox or another hypervisor running at the same time?
If you were running a later version of libguestfs then I would
recommend setting:
export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg
Unfortunately that doesn't work on 1.20 (added in 1.26) and doing the
equivalent in RHEL 6 is rather involved.
If KVM is broken or there's another hypervisor running you could
also try making /dev/kvm unreadable (chmod 0 /dev/kvm <or> rm /dev/kvm).

Hello Rich,
I am not sure if KVM ever ran. I put VirtualBox in it because I have never done
virtualization before and found some instructions for VB. That said, I might have naively
shut something off because I didn't know any better. No VB was not running at the
time. I thought of that and turned it off. Though, I bet the services are still up.
What is the standard kvm service? I could check to see if it is running properly. And we
could go from there.
Thanks for the quick response!

There's not really a "KVM service" as such. It is a part of the
kernel is only used when you start a KVM guest.
In any case as it looks like you have VirtualBox running, my advice
would be to delete the /dev/kvm file, and try running
libguestfs-test-tool and/or virt-resize again.
sudo rm /dev/kvm

Hello Rich,
I figured out how to stop the VB services. I then deleted the /dev/kvm. Then I ran the
libguestfs-test-tool and it said 'OK'. Then I ran virt-resize and it was unhappy
that /dev/kvm no longer existed. I have attached the debug output for your review.

I should have mentioned that it's possible to create the disk image in
a compatible mode. You have to use the `compat=0.10' option (see
qemu-img man page for where to put that). However once you've created
the disk image it is my understanding that you cannot `downgrade' it.

It failed. Seems to be a problem with the partition table in the

incompatible qcow2 variants, general disk corruption, an actual bad

It failed. Seems to be a problem with the partition table in the source image. That
could be caused by almost anything, including incompatible qcow2 variants, general disk
corruption, an actual bad partition table, ...

Hey Rich,
I added some more libvirt packages that seemed to be missing. Added the /dev/kvm node
back... and still no luck. I have attached the latest errors from running virt-resize.
I did notice that a call to 'qemu-kvm' is unhappy about the qcow2 format? It
looks like it can only do version 3? I am not sure that makes sense.
Also, my RHEL Desktop was recently upgraded from the 6.3 channel to the 6.5 channel.
Again, not sure if this matters.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello Rich,
I am not sure if KVM ever ran. I put VirtualBox in it because I have
never done virtualization before and found some instructions for VB.
That said, I might have naively shut something off because I didn't
know any better. No VB was not running at the time. I thought of
that and turned it off. Though, I bet the services are still up.
What is the standard kvm service? I could check to see if it is
running properly. And we could go from there.
There's not really a "KVM service" as such. It is a part of the kernel is
only used when you start a KVM guest.
In any case as it looks like you have VirtualBox running, my advice would be to delete the
/dev/kvm file, and try running libguestfs-test-tool and/or virt-resize again.
sudo rm /dev/kvm
Rich.
