[Bug 356808] Re: Corruption of File Data/Filename w/ Virtual FAT (VFAT)

Although I haven't personally confirmed this, I'm going to mark it 'confirmed', since vvfat support is known to be 'experimental' in upstream QEMU. Furthermore, I'm going to reduce the importance from critical to wishlist. As the upstream maintainer has stated, this feature is known to be experim

Soren indicates that VVFAT is a very non-standard way of doing disk allocation for VM's. Is there some reason that you're using this rather than any of the more standard disk image formats? :-Dustin -- Corruption of File Data/Filename w/ Virtual FAT (VFAT) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356808

Hi Dustin, Excellent questions. I should have included that information. 1) Can you reproduce this on an Ubuntu Jaunty host? I have not tried Jaunty 9.04 beta. Sorry. What version of KVM and QEMU are provided? I checked the main KVM changelog and I don't see anything about it. I t

Thanks for the report. I'm marking this 'critical' since the reporter claims data corruption. I haven't confirmed it yet. A couple of questions. 1) Can you reproduce this on an Ubuntu Jaunty host? 2) Does the problem only happen when copying data guest->host? What about host->guest? 3) What
