[Libguestfs] febootstrap: no ext2 root device found

Hello-

 

I've recently upgraded from OEL 6.4 to OEL 6.8.  Infiniband Hardware
installed on the server prevents me from upgrading the OS version any
higher.

 

Kernel Version:

Oracle Linux Server Red Hat Compatible Kernel (2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64)

 

 

Since the upgrade, there have been problems with libguestfs-tools hanging,
then timing out.

 

 

I'd like to use the newest version of libguestfs-tools if possible, but all
versions above "1.16.34-2.el6" that have been tested time out with the same
error.

 

 

 

Running "libguestfs-test-tool" with Kernel (2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64); the
results are as follows:

 

libguestfs-tools.x86_64       1:1.16.34-2.el6            public_ol6_u4_base
(works)

 

libguestfs-tools.x86_64       1:1.20.11-2.el6            public_ol6_u5_base
(times out with error "febootstrap: no ext2 root device found")

 

libguestfs-tools.x86_64       1:1.20.11-17.el6           public_ol6_u8_base
(times out with error "febootstrap: no ext2 root device found")

 

libguestfs-tools.x86_64       1:1.20.11-20.el6           public_ol6_latest
(times out with error "febootstrap: no ext2 root device found")

 

 

I can provide the output of the tests if required.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

 

 

Thanks.
