Title:
  ubuntu guest's file system becoming read only

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  9.3.189.114 (root/.pasroot) (Host Machine)
  Run the follwoing command to go to the guest victim machine from (/var/lib/libvirt/images/jagan/new_ubuntu_alpha1)

  qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -cpu POWER8 -smp 1 -m 10G
  -nographic -nodefaults -monitor stdio -serial pty -append
  "root=/dev/sda" -kernel trusty-server-cloudimg-ppc64el-vmlinuz-generic
  -device spapr-vscsi -device spapr-
  vlan,netdev=net0,mac=6c:ae:8b:69:16:15 -netdev
  bridge,br=virbr0,id=net0 -drive file=trusty-server-cloudimg-
  ppc64el.img.qcow2

  after this command you will get the screen number.
  example:

  QEMU 1.6.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
  (qemu) char device redirected to /dev/pts/16 (label serial0)

  Then open another host session and execute the below command

  # screen /dev/pts/16
  (qemu)

  Here the screen number is /dev/pts/16

  -->>Then you will get a blank screen so press ENTER key.

  The guest machine login: ubuntu/passw0rd
