| Summary | 0000575: ext4 File Journaling not compatible with Hyper-V | ||||
| Description | Kali Linux 1.05 and below are not compatible with Hyper-V Hypervisor when installed on a ext4 File System Journaling due to a regression on the storvsc driver that is using the "WRITE_SAME" method on the ext4 File System Journaling. The "WRITE_SAME" method has never been supported on any Hyper-V version. For compability reasons the "WRITE_SAME" method has to be disabled and blacklisted on the storvsc driver, please see the appropriate patch and integrate it on a future version of Kali Linux as shared on the link of the Additional Information section. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Issue: Installing Kali Linux 1.05 and below on a Hyper-V Host with the ext4 file system journaling on the root "/" partition will hang the OS installation during the copy files process. Issue occours when: -You use Manual and Guided install and with or without LVM Encryption; -You use ext4 File System Journalism for the root partition "/"; -You attempt to install Kali Linux 1.05 and below; -You install Kali Linux on Hyper-V host 3.x (Windows 8/8.1 or Windows Server 2012/R2); Issue does not occour when: -You use Manual and Guided install and with or without LVM Encryption; -You use ext3 File System Journalism for the root partition "/"; -You attempt to install Kali Linux 1.05 and below; -You install Kali Linux on Hyper-V host 3.x (Windows 8/8.1 or Windows Server 2012/R2); | ||||
| Additional Information | Please integrate the new Storvsc driver patch from the following: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2172871/ | ||||
