[libvirt] [PATCH][take2][0/2] storage: allow alphabetical names in owner/group of permissions
by Ryota Ozaki 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi, This patch set allows alphabetical names in owner/group of permissions in storage XMLs. Change from the initial patch: - store owner/group as strings - As a result, dumpxml of StoragePool could return XML as it is specified Note that in the case of StorageVolume, dumpxml always returns numeric owner/group, i.e., uid and gid, because current libvirt does not store parameters of a volume into an external file but collect info of the volume from the present filesystem using fstat(). This behavior may lose original parameters even in the case of uid/gid specified. I'm not sure why only StorageVolume does not create a XML file. Anyone knows? I should say here I don't intend to replace using numeric uid/gid with using alphabetical names. This patch intends just to bring ease of use and identifying what is specified for users (may not for end-users though). And I don't still have the answer for the question 'numbers vs. names, which is better?'. Thanks, ozaki-r

[libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] VirtualBox support
by Pritesh Kothari 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi All, I have attached a patch which when applied on the HEAD as of today would allow virtualbox support in libvirt. It takes cares of all the stuff mentioned on the list earlier. Still if I have missed anything, please do tell me. The patches are organized as below: Patch 0/4: contains sample xml file Patch 1/4: contains diff of files already in libvirt. Patch 2/4: contains new files needed for VirtualBox support. Patch 3/4: contains support for host only and internal network. Patch 4/4: contains support for rdp in libvirt as mentioned by danpb (also had sent it separately earlier) Regards, Pritesh

[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu -drive takes format= not fmt=
by Mark McLoughlin 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hey, Looks like a simple typo. Original addition of the flag to qemu was here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/qemu/qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=1e72d3b7 and support added to libvirt by this: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=74ce659266 Cheers, Mark. From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc(a)redhat.com> Subject: [PATCH] qemu -drive takes format= not fmt= Seems like a simple typo - it has been "format=" since the flag was introduced, but we added it as "fmt=".

[libvirt] problem to connect to libvirtd as ordinary user
by Sebastian Reitenbach 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi, I'm trying to setup an eucalyptus cloud managing my virtual xen nodes. I'm on SLES11, x86_64. I compiled libvirt-0.6.2 with the following configure parameters: ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-storage-iscsi --without-remote --without-sasl --without-openvz --without-storage-disk below the parameters I've set in the /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf file: listen_tls = 0 listen_tcp = 1 unix_sock_group = "libvirt" unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0777" unix_sock_dir = "/var/run/libvirt" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" auth_tcp = "none" auth_tls = "none" log_level = 1 log_outputs="0:stderr" as root, I can run "virsh list" or "virsh -c xen+unix:/// list" and it just works, however, I cannot do this as user eucalyptus. The user eucalyptus is a member of the libvirt group. # id eucalyptus uid=1000(eucalyptus) gid=1000(eucalyptus) groups=1000(eucalyptus),0(root),16 (dialout),17(audio),33(video),100(users),1001(libvirt) I ran virsh through strace, to see what happens: strace virsh.bin -c xen+unix:/// list ... open("/proc/xen/privcmd", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) ... Shouldn't the permissions of /proc/xen/privcmd be OK due to the libvirt.conf file? However, I changed them, and now the strace output looks like this: chmod 777 /proc/xen/privcmd strace virsh.bin -c xen+unix:/// list ... open("/proc/xen/privcmd", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff4721a0f0) = 196611 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = 0 munlock(0x7fff47219f00, 136) = 0 munlock(0x7fff4721a070, 72) = 0 mlock(0x7fff47219e00, 136) = 0 ioctl(3, SNDCTL_DSP_RESET, 0x7fff47219d80) = 0 munlock(0x7fff47219e00, 136) = 0 close(3) = 0 ... actually, there is no sound card at all, I wonder what the SNDCTL_DSP_RESET is doing there. After the close(3), the virsh is only looking for language to generate the error message: error: failed to connect to the hypervisor Those xen versions are installed: xen-doc-pdf-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-doc-html-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-libs-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-tools-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 xen-kmp-default-3.3.1_18546_12_2.6.27.19_5-3.1 kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.19-5.1 kernel-xen-2.6.27.19-5.1 xen-devel-3.3.1_18546_12-3.1 any idea what is wrong here? kind regards sebastian

[libvirt] [Docs] More work on the API and architecture
by Daniel Veillard 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Another patch, incomplete adding a new page api.html[.in] with the goals of describing the main API concepts, architectures, naming conventions, etc ... It includes Dan's graphics and a change of how the stylesheet process the .html.in content allowing to turn <code class='docref'>foo</code> into a link to reference for foo in the API page. Ultimately I should be able to load the API description from the stylesheet and do that link generation automagically without any markup (like all the links in the API reference). Still need to write the drivers and remote sections, and augment some of the APIs entry points, but it's a first step and better in than out.
