[Qemu-devel] vmdk: improve streamOptimized vmdk support

[Qemu-devel] vmdk: improve streamOptimized vmdk support

[Sunil Kumar]

Hi,

I ran into an issue where the OVA created from the VMDK file created by qemu-img is rejected by vSphere with a message like "Not a supported disk format (sparse VMDK too old)". I was looking through the archives and found this:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-08/msg01028.html

That's exactly my issue and the patch will resolve it. But this patch has not been merged yet and it does not apply on top of 2.2.0 cleanly. Any ideas what happened to the patch there?

I will appreciate any help.

Perhaps Fam (cc'ed) can help you.

Fam had review comments in the mailing list thread that you refer to
above, so it seems we're still waiting for a v4 patch by Milos that
addresses the issues Fam found.

Milos, are you still interested in this patch or should someone else
pick it up?

Oh, shame on me. I've completely forgot about this. I did quickly
ported the patch to current upstream and did some basic testing.
Something is little bit off so I will have to figure that out as well
as look at Fam's comments and I will post v4 asap. I hope to find some
time to look at this properly this week.

I did look at this yesterday and unfortunately it will be harder to
adapt to new head as previously thought. Since the addition of
next_cluster_sector (which is one of last Fam's comments in v3)
writing to vmdk's revolve around sectors instead of offset and that
does not work very well with streamOptimized format.

I'm sorry but I don't think I'll have enough time to spend in near
future to get this properly working. Plus I no longer have the test
environment since I've changed jobs in the meantime.

I'll see if I can roll some patches later. :)

Sunil, do you have an environment to run the tests later?

Re: [Qemu-devel] vmdk: improve streamOptimized vmdk support

[Sunil Kumar]

I don't have a qemu dev test environment if that's what you mean. But I will definitely be able to take a patch and test to see if the created streamOptimized VMDK gets accepted by the ESXi server that I have here.

Thanks
