observation¶

svirt based tests can die when booting before installation because the image is unusable, e.g. see
http://lord.arch/tests/1048/file/autoinst-log.txt

Domain openQA-SUT-12 defined from /var/lib/libvirt/images/openQA-SUT-12.xml

steps to reproduce¶

Run zkvm tests often, happens in about 3/20 runs, at least in my setup.

problem¶

H1. specific to my openQA+reserved_s390x@zkvm worker (VIRSH_HOSTNAME=s390pb.suse.de, VIRSH_GUEST=10.161.145.7, VIRSH_INSTANCE=12)
H2. the s390x guest is "reused" or the image is cleanup up by someone else
H3. out of disk space and return value of qemu-img command is not properly checked?

suggestion¶

We could improve the check for the image being present before we try to access it again after reboot.

workaround¶

sporadic, so retrigger
