Subject: Qemu disk images on BTRFS suffer checksum errors
Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:08:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c48018584d78271b5958df996a72207f@kuther.net> (raw)
Hello,
I'm about to migrate from VirtualBox to Qemu+VGA-Passthrough. All my
virtual disk images are stored in a BTRFS subvolume on-top of a MDRAID
1.
The host runs kernel 3.10, and Qemu 1.5.1. The Testing-VM is a Windows 7
64bit, using a RAW virtio disk with cache=none, same happens for qcow2,
though.
Using VirtualBox and in the past Vmware workstation I never had issues
with corrupted diskimages, but now with Qemu all tries ended up with
lots of errors like:
[ 4871.863009] BTRFS info (device md10): csum failed ino 687 off
46213922816 csum 3817758510 private 402306600

Trying to copy the disk image elsewhere causes I/O errors at some point.
I found a thread about the issue
(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/20538) and also
a bug report against Qemu from Josef Bacik describing the exact same
problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693530 - Josef
states it should be fixed since quite a while.
Is this a regression in BTRFS, a problem with my setup (md raid1 layer
below btrfs), or (still) a bug in Qemu?
Would cache=writethrough or writeback be an option with BTRFS?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Best regards,
Thomas
