Trying to reproduce this issue using sparse files: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.qcow2 8T
Next launching qemu, with physical & logical sectors set to 4k, booting off yakkety-server-ppc64el.iso (launchpad will wrap, but below is all one command) $ qemu-system-ppc64le -M pseries -cpu POWER8 -m 2048 -vga none -nographic -cdrom yakkety-server-ppc64el.iso -enable-kvm -device virtio- scsi-pci,id=scsi -device scsi- hd,drive=hd,physical_block_size=4096,logical_block_size=4096 -drive if=none,id=hd,file=disk.qcow2,format=qcow2 completing installation, rebooting, things seem to work correctly, fdisk correctly reports 4k physical and logical sector sizes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619470 Title: Ubuntu-KVM:Install Ubuntu16.04.01 OS consistently failed on big size DASD Libra HE10 8TB drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1619470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
