[18:04] <vans163> Anyone know the correct way to use cloud-init with qemu?
[18:04] <vans163> If I pass the .iso I created to qemu as -drive then remove it.  I fail to boot up the second time with errors like this  blk_update_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[18:04] <vans163> reading google seems to indicate maybe the cloud image expects that drive to be there
[18:53] <powersj> vans163: I have been using something similar to: https://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.cl/2013/02/using-ubuntu-cloud-images-without-cloud.html
[18:55] <vans163> powersj: doing -hda/hdb like that does not allow to pass virtio
[18:55] <vans163> im gonna try using -cdrom i guess
[18:55] <vans163> or i guess will have to keep the cloud-init.iso always mounted/attached
[18:55] <vans163> everytime that vm boots
[18:57] <powersj> Well so here is what I end up using, which you can see the virtio cmd: https://gist.github.com/powersj/987069c407c5115acfd72a09ce1b9be9
[18:58] <vans163> powersj: wil investigate that fully thanks, but that last command to run qemu looks identical to mine. My trouble starts is on the second boot I leave out -drive file=$SEED_FILE,format=raw,if=virtio
[18:58] <powersj> very specific for my use-case of going through cloud configs quickly, but you can play with it
[18:58] <powersj> ah
[18:58] <vans163> do you leave out this line "-drive file=$SEED_FILE,format=raw,if=virtio" on second boot and further?
[18:59] <powersj> ah second boot? let me try
[19:00] <vans163> yea like make the seed.iso, attach it, boot, works. Shutdown QEMu fully, start qemu again the same main disk, BUT leave out "-drive file=$SEED_FILE,format=raw,if=virtio". It does not boot, gives those errors "blk_update_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0"   Do you see these at all?
[19:00] <vans163> By default I get 3 of those using the ubuntu xenial 16.04 cloud image
[19:00] <vans163> but it does not affect anything
[19:01] <vans163> without the $SEED_FILE theres like 10-12 of them, and Ubuntu does not boot
[19:02] <powersj> vans163: agreed, seeing same thing
[19:04] <vans163> powersj: fails to boot fully too? Gets stuck after those blk_update_request errors?
[19:04] <powersj> I wonder if it is stuck waiting for userdata or something like that
[19:04] <vans163> ah
[19:04] <powersj> vans163: yes just sits there
[19:05] <powersj> when I added the seed back in it boots as expected like you mentioned
[19:05] <vans163> i was going crazy at first, i thought my filesystem was corrupting the image and im using ZFS x.x
[19:06] <powersj> ha! glad I could at least confirm it for you
[19:06] <vans163> yea thanks. so would this be a bug?
[19:06] <vans163> im not sure if its local to xenial ubuntu or if itl happen on other images
[19:06] <powersj> I'm not sure, I don't know enough if there is some setting you would need to disable or mark on the cloud-img I'm using to allow 2nd boot
[19:07] <vans163> i see. I think il just run with always having the seed attached for now
