Boom, Failure (Q-Emu fails when hdd is added)

[xantios]

Hi all,

Im using Proxmox for a while now, and it works like a charm... although, it did....

Currently im having some trouble considering KVM/Q-emu,
Im running: Linux kelso 2.6.18-6-pve #1 SMP Mon May 9 13:27:11 CEST 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And OpenVZ works great, but when i want to start a KVM machine, the start button in the web interface gets disabled for a couple of seconds... and after a few seconds the machine stops.

in /var/log/syslog:

Jul  7 00:31:16 kelso proxwww[21305]: update ticket

Jul  7 00:31:20 kelso pvedaemon[7039]: worker 21331 started

for one machine, and in some other situation i get:

when i try to manualy start it using:

qm start 106

i get:

root@kelso:/etc/qemu-server# qm start 106
qemu: could not open disk image /media/data/vps/images/Windows/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw

root@kelso:/etc/qemu-server#

Weird bit is, when i delete the harddisk from a machine... and then start it, manualy or from the web interface... it just starts without a care in the world...

i really dont have any more ideas on how i can fix this...
so i could use some help here.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Xantios

Why is the file not available?

> qemu: could not open disk image /media/data/vps/images/Windows/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw

What kind of storage is that - nfs?

 

[xantios]

Whell, the file does exists.

root@kelso:~# ls /media/data/vps/images/Windows/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw   
 /media/data/vps/images/Windows/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw

root@kelso:~# du -h /media/data/vps/images/Windows/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw
0       /media/data/vps/images/Windows/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw
root@kelso:~#

and it's an ntfs disk, it's just in the server mounted in /media/data
