i followed the excellent tutorial here: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-12.04-lts-p3 I get to the step to convert the image vm into the lvm and get the following error: qemu-img: /dev/mapper/vg0-vm1: error while converting raw: No space left on device here is my logical volume i created: Disk /dev/mapper/vg0-vm1: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders, total 20971520 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Any suggestions on how to convert this image vm into an LVM based vm? thanks.
It states that your device capacity is full, it cannot create its image file as no space is remaining over the disk.
I just created the lvm parition and did not even format it. how could it be full already? Or is it complaining another paritition is full. I have plenty of disk space open on my root parition. I am running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on : software Mirrored raid with lvm over the top I did find this post which creates a raw file first then copies it to the lvm. I could try that http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43894
once i copy the vm to the lvm partition i now get this error when attempting to start it: virsh # start vm1 error: Failed to start domain vm1 error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: kvm: -drive file=/dev/vg0/vm1,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2: could not open disk image /dev/vg0/vm1: Invalid argument
I could not copy the vm to the lvm. I think it was due to the fact that the logical volume was not the exact same size as the vm image. I could not reliably determine the size the lvm needed to be I first created the network bridge per how to http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-12.10 i ended up following these instructions: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-12.10-p3 the vmbuilder.parition file is not the correct size for GB paritions mine looks like this: Code: root 102400 swap 2048 which will give me a 10G root parition and a 2 G swap parition. then i created the lvm with: Code: lvcreate -L 102G -n vm1 vg0 creating a 102 Gig lv in the volume group vg0 then i created my vm directly in the lv drive like so: Code: vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=precise --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 --mirror=http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu -o --libvirt=qemu:///system --ip=192.168.1.107 --gw=192.168.1.1 --part=vmbuilder.partition --templates=mytemplates --user=ajonen --name=ajonen --pass=xxxx --addpkg=vim-nox --addpkg=unattended-upgrades --addpkg=acpid --addpkg=linux-image-generic --firstboot=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm1/boot.sh --mem=2048 --hostname=vm1 --bridge=br0 --raw=/dev/vg0/vm1 adjust the memory, ip, gateway, name, and -raw command as above. Everything worked as expected, except openssh did not install and start. oh well. I hope this helps someone. i am running ubuntu 12.04 on software raid,lvm setup
