After upgrading to 1.2 I can't create a VM with additional drives.
Steps to reproduce.
- Create a disk with
limactl disk create disk1 --size 10GiB - Create a template YAML
ubuntu-bug.yaml:
minimumLimaVersion: 1.1.0
base:
- template://_images/ubuntu
- template://_default/mounts
additionalDisks:
- name: "disk1"
format: true
fsType: "xfs"
- Start the VM with
limactl start --name ubuntu-bug ubuntu-bug.yaml - Get ERROR:
FATA[0005] exiting, status={Running:false Degraded:false Exiting:true Errors:[] SSHLocalPort:0} (hint: see "/Users/pavel/.lima/ubuntu-bug/ha.stderr.log") - Check the log:
{"level":"info","msg":"Mounting disk \"disk1\" on \"/mnt/lima-disk1\"","time":"2025-07-11T15:10:41-04:00"}

Lima tries to use qemu-img to convert the disk to raw in-place and fails.
This works in 1.1.1 (just tested by installing the 1.1.1 binary).
In 1.1.1 the log looks fine:
{"level":"info","msg":"Mounting disk \"disk1\" on \"/mnt/lima-disk1\"","time":"2025-07-11T15:21:57-04:00"}
{"level":"debug","msg":"Converting extra disk \"/Users/pavel/.lima/_disks/disk1/datadisk\" to a raw disk (if it is not a raw)","time":"2025-07-11T15:21:57-04:00"}
