I have a reproduceable problem when trying to boot a kvm guest whose root filesystem is on an nfs path that is accessed from the kvm virt host via nfs-ganesha-2.8 and the proxy fsal. All hosts involved: kvm host, kvm guest, and nfs-ganesha server, run CentOS 7. The guest begins to boot but consistently fails just after the switch root with ext4 errors like this: [  OK  ] Started Plymouth switch root service.          Starting Switch Root... [   15.154967] systemd-journald[145]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1 (systemd). [   15.168447] EXT4-fs error (device vda1): __ext4_get_inode_loc:4247: inode #131073: block 524320: comm systemd: unable to read itable block [   15.269495] EXT4-fs warning (device vda1): __ext4_read_dirblock:676: error reading directory block (ino 524296, block 0) [   15.278651] systemd[1]: Failed to execute /sbin/init, giving up: Input/output error I'm using nfs-ganesha from the CentOS 7 Storage SIG. I've tested with both the latest stable 2.8 version from repo [centos-nfs-ganesha28]:   nfs-ganesha-2.8.3-3.el7.x86_64 and the latest test version from [centos-nfs-ganesha28-test]:   nfs-ganesha-2.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 with similar results.  I've also tried with nfs v3 and nfs v4.1 mounts from the kvm host. The kvm guest disk is defined as:   <disk type='file' device='disk'>     <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>     <source file='/mnt/ganesha/kvm/guest.qcow2'/>     <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>     <boot order='1'/>     <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08'       function='0x0'/>   </disk> The kvm guest works fine if the kvm host accesses this qcow2 image via a direct nfs mount instead of via nfs-ganesha proxy. Thoughts? Thanks, Todd _______________________________________________ Support mailing list -- support(a)lists.nfs-ganesha.org To unsubscribe send an email to support-leave(a)lists.nfs-ganesha.org
