Undefined subroutine &PVE::Storage::DirPlugin::alloc_image at BTRFSPlugin.pm

[NickB]

While working through the Cloud-Init at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cloud-Init_Support to create a Template on my PVE7 system that is using BTRFS storage I get the following error:

$ sudo qm set 100 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-btrfs:100/vm-100-disk-0.raw

$ sudo qm set 100 --ide2 local-btrfs:cloudinit

Hi,

You ran into a bit specific bug here, thanks for noticing us.

FYI: This corner case should be fixed in libpve-storage-perl version 7.0-11, currently available through our pvetest repository.

Hi,
I got similar problem on PVE 8 when trying to create template from VM:

I pushed a fix for the obvious bug when calling the (grand-)parent method here, but didn't fully re-tested your use case just yet, so it might be that this alone is not enough.

Hi,
Thanks, with your patch "qm template" works.
I got also timeout when using "qm disk resize" on btrfs volume, but looks like volume was resized.

root@pve-home:~# qm create 9001 --name debian12-cloudinit --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --machine q35

Can you please open a bug report for this over at our Bugzilla instance: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ ? So that we do not lose track of this issue.

Hello,

i can confirm that this issue still exist. i will forward it to bugzilla now. Its the same fail. Per API call the disk cant be resized AFTER Creation. Per dashboard it works somehow after creation. after the failed "qm resize", if i run "qm rescan" it will detect the new size. After that if i run a resize on the vm aigan via API it works. Wierd.
