OK, care to provide more details about the reproducer? Like how backend
is setup, MQ/SQ is used, disk size, ...
My test script is attached. $1 == "ublk".
It basically just clones a Linux repo and compiles it. It hangs
either during the clone or early in the build, and there are various
"scary messages" from git which might indicate disk corruption.
The NBD server is:
nbdkit -f memory 24G
running on the hypervisor ("nbd://pick").
I have cloned linux kernel source tree on nbdublk disk and built it
with
fedora 36 config for ~20min, so far so good. In my setting, backend is
'nbdkit file /dev/sda(virtio-scsi)', nbdublk is single queue.
Can you see if you can reproduce a hang with the source from:
https://gitlab.com/rwmjones/libnbd/-/commits/nbdublk/
I may have made a mistake when rebasing your patch or fixing it up to
remove compiler warnings.
Rich.
