Hi, Just an added note, running the qemu-img command on a directory that is not encrypted results in a 5gb image file being created so fast that i thought there must have been an error of some sort, but there is a file created.
william@ishtar:/home/Books$ qemu-img create -f raw Ubuntu-11.04-desktop.img 5G Formatting 'Ubuntu-11.04-desktop.img', fmt=raw size=5368709120 william@ishtar:/home/Books$ ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2012-02-02 00:48 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2012-01-20 00:39 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 william william 5368709120 2012-02-02 00:51 Ubuntu-11.04-desktop.img william@ishtar:/home/Books$ file Ubuntu-11.04-desktop.img Ubuntu-11.04-desktop.img: data VirtualBox also created an 8gb disk image file with no trouble. both of these results were running the latest 3.0.0-15-generic kernel. there seems to be a bad interaction with the kernel and the encrypted file system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925309 Title: unkillable process consuming 100% cpu time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/925309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
