Subject: [PATCH qemu-server] cloud-init: activate volume early enough to fix regression with qcow2 on LVM
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 13:10:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812111035.84116-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
Since pve-storage commit 05032c5 ("fix #7811: storage: lvm: reject
allocation on format and volume name mismatch") and its follow-ups,
cloud-init disks are named with a '.qcow2' extension on LVM storages
with snapshot-as-volume-chain enabled.
This causes a regression, because volume_size_info() fails and returns
undef when the qcow2 volume is not active. When the size cannot be
determined, commit_cloudinit_disk() function assumes that the disk
does not yet exist and tries to allocate new disk with the same name,
which fails.
[I] root@pve9a1 ~# qm start 100
failed to stat '/dev/lvm/vm-100-cloudinit.qcow2'
Rounding up size to full physical extent 8.00 MiB
lvcreate 'lvm/vm-100-cloudinit.qcow2' error: Logical Volume
"vm-100-cloudinit.qcow2" already exists in volume group "lvm"
Fix the issue by checking the existence/size with vdisk_list(), which
also works for deactivated volumes.
Activating the volume earlier is an alternative, but would need to be
inside an eval block that silently ignores failure, since the volume
might not exist yet, which should not be logged. And in case where the
qcow2 on LVM volume does exist, but activation fails, there would be
an attempt to allocate a new volume with the same name, which also
seems less than ideal. So that approach is a bit hacky.
