      • Solved Minor

    Windows 10 & Ubuntu install fails when creating using a dynamically expanding qcow2 file on a XFS formatted drive mounted by UD. Windows 10 returned a variety of errors at the end of the initial copying of files such as corrupted media, cannot set local, could not load a driver, could not continue, or just jump right back to the setup button at the start. The Ubuntu install returned "Errno 30 - Read-only file system on /target/usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.0-13-generic/include/config/qlcnic".

     

    Downgraded to the stable release, VM creation was successful on XFS. No issues with creating the VM on the UD mounted SSD after reformatting it to BTRFS.

    Why are you creating a separate bug report then?

    Because that report as posted is different, and hosting on a BTRFS cache drive. I didn't read the comments on it until after posting this report and it is in those comments that I saw people mentioning issues with XFS so I commented with a link to it.

    Verified. Was able to successfully create a VM with Ubuntu on a dynamically expanding qcow2 drive hosted on an UD mounted XFS SSD.
