Hi all,
I'm having some troubles with QEMU's hard disk images and may have bumped
into a bug. I'm trying to import data into my emulated MINIX, but somehow
it is truncated.
I successfully created a qemu-img called hda.img of 512 MB and installed
the latest version from MINIX on it. Trying to import files by using the
file as hdb image and reading from /dev/hdb in the emulated MINIX works
perfectly fine for small files. For an import file above 1.5 MB the
following weirdiness happens:
In linux:
$ qemu -hda hda.img -hdb import.tar.gz
After booting MINIX with QEMU:
# dd if=/dev/hdb of=import.tar.gz bs=1 count=1672014
# ls -l import.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root operator 1548288 Jul 31 20:34 import.tar.gz
Somehow the file is truncated at exactly 1.5 MB, while the dd output
indicates that all records were successfully read.
Inspection of /dev/hdb with MINIX' part tools also learns that the QEMU
emulated hard disk is 1512 KB.
I'd like to note that for several small files (less than 1 MB) this
procedure worked fine.
Another file of 75582464 bytes was truncated at 73584 KB.
Could this behaviour be caused by a bug in QEMU?
Please CC the reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I'm not a list member.
Thanks,
Jorrit
