[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Filesystem pool probing & filesystem building
by David Allan 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

The following patches add support for building a filesystem on the source device when building a filesystem pool. The first patch adds mkfs and libblkid to the build system. The second patch adds two flags to virStorageBackendFileSystemBuild. The first flag causes the build operation to probe for an existing filesystem of the type specified in the pool XML. If an existing filesystem of the specified type is present, mkfs is not executed and the build call returns an error. Any other data present on the source device will be overwritten. The second flag causes the build to execute mkfs unconditionally overwriting whatever is currently on the source device. Calling virStorageBackendFileSystemBuild without any flags preserves the current behavior, which is to make the directory on which the filesystem will be mounted, but to leave the source device untouched.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Trivial virsh.pod additions --all for "list" command and similar
by Justin Clift 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

Hi all, This is just a trivial patch to virsh.pod (from git master). It adds the following pieces to the virsh man page: + Shows the --inactive and --all optional parameters for the list command. Closes Bugzilla #575512, reported by Renich Bon Ciric (CC'd) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575512 + Corrects the existing description of the list command, to now say that only running domains are listed if no domains are specified. The man page up until this point has said all domains are listed if no domains are specified, which is incorrect. + Adds the "shut off" state to the list of states for the list command. + Adds a missing =back around line 755, that pod2man was complaining was missing.

[libvirt] another AUTHORS update
by Eric Blake 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Eduardo Otubo contacted me off-list, noticing that his name was not yet in AUTHORS even though he has had commits in the past. I've rectified this situation with an obvious commit; not worth posting the diff to the list (to avoid unnecessary exposure of all the email addresses...). -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[libvirt] A few small libvirt build issues
by Cole Robinson 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

I've hit a few small build issues that I don't know how to fix. daemon/libvirtd.init isn't regenerated if ./configure is re-run. If I do: ./configure --prefix=/foo && make && ./configure --prefix=/bar && make daemon/libvirtd.init will reference /foo and not /bar. The logrotate files are affected as well. Second issue involves root squash homedir which I use regularly for development. If I ./configure && make -j4 && sudo make install, I get the following error: Making install in python make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/storage.bos/boston/crobinso/sandbox/upstream/libvirt/libvirt.git/python' Making install in . make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/storage.bos/boston/crobinso/sandbox/upstream/libvirt/libvirt.git/python' make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/storage.bos/boston/crobinso/sandbox/upstream/libvirt/libvirt.git/python' test -z "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages" /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libvirtmod.la '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages' libtool: install: warning: relinking `libvirtmod.la' libtool: install: (cd /mnt/storage.bos/boston/crobinso/sandbox/upstream/libvirt/libvirt.git/python; /bin/sh /mnt/storage.bos/boston/crobinso/sandbox/upstream/libvirt/libvirt.git/libtool --silent --tag CC --mode=relink gcc -Wno-redundant-decls -g -O2 -module -avoid-version -shared -L../src/.libs -o libvirtmod.la -rpath /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages libvirtmod_la-libvirt-override.lo libvirtmod_la-typewrappers.lo libvirtmod_la-libvirt.lo ../src/libvirt.la -ldl ) mv: cannot move `libvirtmod.so' to `libvirtmod.soU': Permission denied libtool: install: error: relink `libvirtmod.la' with the above command before installing it My automake-fu is weak so I haven't had much luck decoding any of this. 'make install' seems to want to run that relink command every time, running it by hand doesn't help any. Anyone have any thoughts? Jim, Eric, I figure you guys would know best, so any input appreciated. Thanks, Cole

[libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Add a qemu.conf option for clearing capabilities

[libvirt] vol-list and other vol-* functions
by Eduardo Otubo 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello all, When implementing the vol-list function I came up with the concept of 'path' which I am not sure if I understood. Does 'path' in this case represents where it is mounted on the guest system? On IBM Power Hypervisor, there's some logical volumes which I can get the path and there's some I can't, hence, I can't get LookUpByPath() function implemented correctly. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Eduardo Otubo Software Engineer Linux Technology Center IBM Systems & Technology Group Mobile: +55 19 8135 0885 eotubo(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com

[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] Add --source-format argument to virsh pool-define-as and pool-create-as
by Justin Clift 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi all, When creating pools from dedicated disks, the existing pool-define-as and pool-create-as commands are a bit non-optimal. Ideally, a person would be able to specify all of the required options directly on the command line instead of having to edit the XML. At the moment, there is no way to specify the format type (ie gpt) so it gets included in the XML the pool is constructed with. Please find attached a simple (tested) patch to add an optional "--source-format 'type'" to virsh. This is patched against current git master and will apply cleanly. Also created a Red Hat BZ ticket for this (#597790) for tracking. Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Salasaga - Open Source eLearning IDE http://www.salasaga.org
