Re: [Qemu-devel] Qcow2

Hello Stefan,

I couldn't find any error when I do consistency check on the image file...

What can be the reason for not starting the VM.

Here I am suspecting when the base server go for reboot lesser image will start 
and it cached and larger image will take more time to create the cache...

Was this correct... if yes could you please help me how to increase the 
caching...


Thanks,
-Arun

These audio messages look like warnings, not fatal errors, but I am
not sure.  I would view the VM details using virt-manager and remove
the sound card device from the VM if you don't need it.

There were no further error messages indicating that starting the VM failed?

You mentioned using QCOW2.  Use "qemu-img check
sy0005embinf02_vdb.img" to run a consistency check on the image file.
There should be no fatal errors.
