Re: [Libguestfs] unexpected end of file mounting vdi image
I'm guessing CentOS 6.2.
Correct.
The error is right there in the output:
qemu-kvm: -drive
file=/VM/Ubuntu-Media/Ubuntu-Media-Copy.vdi,snapshot=on,if=virtio:
could not
open disk image /VM/Ubuntu-Media/Ubuntu-Media-Copy.vdi: Operation not
supported
qemu cannot understand this file. It could well be that VDI support
is disabled in CentOS, or the file format is some later variant that
qemu doesn't support.
I saw that but assumed there was something else wrong.
There's a newer version of libguestfs in RHEL 6.3, but the basic
problem here is with qemu.
According to Red Hat virtualization documentation qemu-img supposedly supports converting
vdi images, so qemu should know how to read them at least. Libguestfs is not standalone?
So it requires qemu-kvm to load the image before it can mount it? I don't find any
reference to whether vdi is officially supported in RHEL 6 or not other than the qemu-img.
