OpenBSD reports full disk on install

Reported by: scy Assigned to:
Priority: major Component: other
Version: VirtualBox 1.6.4 Keywords:
Cc: Guest type: BSD
Host type: other

Description

OpenBSD (3.9) aborts the installation process reporting a full disk.

uid 0 on /: file system full

/: write failed, file system is full

I've tried static and dynamic images, and there is also much free space on the file system of the host os.

Tested with VirtualBox 1.3.6 and 1.3.8

I can confirm this bug using OpenBSD 4.0 network / pxe install.

Just to be sure - the virtual hard disk is not on a FAT partition on the host, is it?

No, for me its XFS.

03/30/07 18:46:00 changed by sharms

EXT3 here

05/07/07 15:11:12 changed by Sascha

Also on Ubuntu 7.04 as host, ext3fs, OpenBSD4.1 as guest.
Dynamic images as well as fixed size images.

It crashes/reboots randomly during install of FreeBSD6.2 in a VirtualBox.

05/09/07 19:39:41 changed by chb

Same here container either fixed or dynamic - Host FS is Reiser 3.6 OpenBSD 4.1 as guest

06/13/07 15:48:36 changed by Sascha

This error is still present in a VirtualBox 1.4.0

My system is Ubuntu 7.04
Guest should be OpenBSD4.1

Besides that it stops while installing FreeBSD6.2 sets with disk full error.

Can we do something to narrow this ?
Maybe dmesg ?

08/20/07 10:28:00 changed by ellobo

I'm attaching a screenshot in PNG format of the boot messages, the portion that shows info found by OpenBSD4.1 on a guest system configured with a 7.81GB fixed size VDI. My host OS is Ubuntu 7.04 and the FS is ext3

Almost half a year and no solution yet - :-/

Yay this bug is fixed in SVN :-). The Linux build instructions work like a charm. Thanks!

I can't even install OpenBSD 4.1 on VB 1.4.0 because of this error message during install just before I shall create disk labels:

wd0c: device timeout writing fsbn 0 (wd0 bn 0;cn 0 tn 0 sn 0), retrying wd0(pciide0:0:0):timeout

type: ata c_bcount: 512 c_skip: 0

This message is repeated several times until this message occurs fdisk: error writing MBR: Input/output error fdisk: eof done.

I have tried both dynamic and static disk size.

Host OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 Swedish

Hello,

i attached 2 files to show you the problem with VirtualBox 1.5.2 OSE in a CRUX 2.3 host using reiserfs while trying to install OpenBSD 4.2. The guest is getting me the error shown at capture file 2007-11-16-094928.png

I hope this can be usefull.

Thank you for your work. Regards.

How big is your guest hard disk?

(in reply to: ↑ 14 ) 11/16/07 10:39:55 changed by pitillo

Replying to frank:

How big is your guest hard disk?

I tried with the default value 2048Mb and another try with one around 6Gb.

11/16/07 12:12:05 changed by Fenix*NBK*

It is damn strange, because here OpenBSD 4.1 and 4.2 both detected 8GB hard disk.

Host: Windows XP SP2, 4GB RAM, Core 2 Quad. VirtualBox 1.5.2.

Guest: OpenBSD 4.2, 128 MB of RAM, 8 GB HDD.

Nevertheless, guest segfaulted when attempted to be installed. I will open separate bug.

-Technologov. 16.11.2007.

Update: this segfaults bug already exists as bug #639.

  • guest changed from other to BSD.

And all of you are talking about BSD guests, correct?

08/15/08 13:56:38 changed by radious

Yes, latest OpenBSD in my case.

I'm talking about latest OpenBSD install cd and guest set as OpenBSD in VB Machine creator.

Same behavior on VirtualBox 1.6.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.4.

I was trying to install OpenBSD (August 21, 2008 snapshot) and got that "uid 0 on /: file system full" message while in the bsd.rd installation environment.
