Failure on image pull: UtilityVM: Incorrect function.: unknown #2294

Open

Description

@apostasie

Hi folks,

On nerdctl CI, we do see this error quite often, on a simple image pull.

nerdctl ticket is here: containerd/nerdctl#3524

It looks like a command such as:

C:\Users\runneradmin\go\bin\nerdctl.exe --namespace=nerdctl-test pull --quiet gcr.io/k8s-staging-e2e-test-images/busybox:1.29-2

Will occasionally return:

        Stderr:   time="2024-10-08T23:21:46Z" level=fatal msg="failed to extract layer sha256:f2032cdb21dfb9f3d6fdd3797ea992ec05415e5a6a57f9eb36b6646496db8d09: hcsshim::ProcessUtilityVMImage \\\\?\\C:\\ProgramData\\containerd\\root\\io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.windows\\snapshots\\2\\UtilityVM: Incorrect function.: unknown"        

This is with containerd v2 rc5 and nerdctl main - but probably has been there for a while.

Does this ring a bell? Or do you have some insight for me on where to look / how to further diagnose this?
Could be a containerd issue I guess? Or do you think this is rather hcsshim?

Thanks in advance.

    Hey folks,

    We see this very often on nerdctl CI.

    Any clue on this?
