V2:
- removed replacements of lseek() to lseek64() from patch
While doing some testing with Qemu and creating huge logfiles I
encountered the case where the VM could not start anymore due to the
lseek() to the end of the Qemu VM's log file failing. The patch
below fixes the problem by replacing the previously used 'int' with
'off_t'.
To reproduce this error, you could do the following:
dd if=/dev/zero
of=/var/log/libvirt/qemu/<name
of VM>.log bs=1024 count=$((1024*2048))
and you should get an error like this:
error: Failed to start domain <name of VM>
error: Unable to seek to -2147482651 in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<name of VM>.log: Success
