[Bug 1847793] Re: qemu 4.1.0 - Corrupt guest filesystem after new vm install

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.

If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  qemu 4.1.0 - Corrupt guest filesystem after new vm install

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I install a new vm with qemu 4.1.0 all the guest filesystems are
  corrupt. The first boot from the install dvd iso is ok and the
  installer work fine. But the guest system hangs after the installer
  finishes and I reboot the guest. I can see the grub boot menue but the
  system cannot load the initramfs.

  Testet with:
  - RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 (RedHat uses xfs for the /boot and 
/ partition)
  Guided install with the graphical installer, no lvm selected.
  - Debian Stable/Buster (Debian uses ext4 for / and /home partition)
  Guidet install with the graphical installer and default options.

  Used commandline to create the vm disk image:
  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /volumes/disk2-part2/vmdisks/vmtest10-1.qcow2 20G

  Used qemu commandline for vm installation:
  #!/bin/sh
  # vmtest10 Installation
  #
  /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64  -cpu SandyBridge-IBRS \
      -soundhw hda \
      -M q35 \
      -k de \
      -vga qxl \
      -machine accel=kvm \
      -m 4096 \
      -display gtk \
      -drive 
file=/volumes/disk2-part2/images/debian-10.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom
 \
      -drive 
file=/volumes/disk2-part2/images/vmtest10-1.qcow2,if=virtio,media=disk,cache=writeback
 \
      -boot once=d,menu=off \
      -device virtio-net-pci,mac=52:54:00:2c:02:6c,netdev=vlan0 \
      -netdev bridge,br=br0,id=vlan0 \
      -rtc base=localtime \
      -name "vmtest10" \

      -device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \
      -chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent $*

  With qemu 4.0.0 it works fine without any errors.
