The /dev/vmbus/hv_fcopy device won't be created unless the 'Guest Service Interface' integration service is enabled in the VM. It isn't enabled by default. This can be checked with the following PowerShell command on the Hyper-V server:
Get-VMIntegrationService 'Guest Service Interface' -VMName FOO where 'FOO' is the name of the virtual machine. Look for the 'Enabled' column in the output. If it says 'False', it can be enabled using the following PowerShell command: Enable-VMIntegrationService 'Guest Service Interface' -VMName FOO -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614618 Title: hv-fcopy-daemon.service system failed start Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: I booted a yakkety system on azure, and saw $ systemctl status hv-fcopy-daemon.service --no-pager --full ● hv-fcopy-daemon.service - Hyper-V File Copy Protocol Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/hv-fcopy-daemon.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2016-08-18 16:01:51 UTC; 32min ago Main PID: 2291 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Aug 18 16:01:51 ubuntu systemd[1]: Started Hyper-V File Copy Protocol Daemon.
