    @jbartlett Try it on a slower drive if you have the time for, maybe the array itself. It looks like it is an IO related issue. Quickly setup a default Linux vm and click trough the installer and see what happens. 😉

    I don't have a RC4 system running a parity drive so I dropped in a decade old 300GB drive that read 62MB/sec at the start and tried that with Ubuntu desktop on a 20GB (min spec) qcow2. Installer crashed.

    I think I did try that once on an array XSD spinner, I'll do it again to make sure.

     

    I just (apparently) successfully installed an Ubuntu server on a 2 GB (minimum spec) qcow2 and while the install did not display any errors, booting it show a "no such file or directory" when checking the root file system at boot and then segfaulted/hung.

  3. I have a long-existing Windows 10 VM running with three qcow2 drives on a Samsung 960 EVO nvme drive formatted with XFS and it had no issue running for several days on RC4 and the qcow2 files do not seem to be corrupted after reverting back to the stable release.

     

    I never tried creating a VM on RC4 with a small vdisk, never smaller than 120G, but the OS install never completed successfully while the qcow2 file was on a XFS. I must've tried a couple dozen times using Windows 10 & Ubuntu.

    Had the following issue on rc-4 (didn't try any of the previous 6.80rc builds): Can't run any .py or .sh script (didn't try an executable) on the boot flash.

    To expand on bonienl's response, the solution is to copy the script to the /tmp directory, mod permissions, and execute it from there. This is how the go script is executed.

    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.

  6. Anybody try creating a new Windows 10 VM under RC4? I had a DEVIL of a time trying to get it to work. The install would copy the files, go all the way to the "Finishing up" and then display any one of several errors - 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.

     

    Rolled back to 6.7.2 and poof - installation went like a champ though I did have to edit/save because using the RC4 built XML gave an invalid machine type error.
