Sending 271k of attachments to multiple mailing lists is considered poor netiquette - the effort to send that much from the mail server to the large number of recipients of each list, as well as the fact that not all list recipients have broadband access and have to pay for every byte downloaded, means that it is much nicer to copy-and-paste the text contents of error messages, and/or host your screenshots on an external site and merely post the URL to your screenshots rather than attaching them to the mail. Also, we ask that you avoid top-posting on technical lists. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Make it easier to disable readline
by Eric Blake 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Previously, disabling readline involved uninstalling the development library, or else configuring with: ac_cv_lib_readline_readline=no ac_cv_search_tgetent=no ac_cv_lib_readline_rl_initialize=no With this series, it is much easier to test that virsh still works without readline support, merely using ./configuire --without-readline.

[libvirt] [PATCH] build: kill maintainer mode, always rebuild by default
by Eric Blake 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

The automake manual recommends against the use of disabling maintainer mode by default: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#maintainer_002dm… because when it is disabled, the user gets no indication if they touch a file that would normally require a rebuild. Automake 1.11 changed things so that AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([enable]) will set the mode to enabled by default; but RHEL 5 still uses automake 1.9, where AM_MAINTAINER_MODE did not recognize an argument, and therefore disables maintainer mode by default. Having the default be different according to which version of automake built the project is annoying, and I _have_ been bitten on RHEL 5 rebuilds where the default disabled mode led to silently incorrect builds. The automake manual admits that being able to disable maintainer mode still makes sense for projects that still store generated files from the autotools in version control; but we have dropped that for several years now. As such, it's finally time to just ditch the whole idea of maintainer mode, and unconditionally rebuild autotools files if a dependency changes, without offering a configure option to disable that mode. * configure.ac (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Drop.

[libvirt] Changing test_driver.c file
by Arun Viswanath 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

Hi All, For some testing purpose I've changed some content in src/test/test_driver.c and then used "make" command to compile and build the code. Then I copied the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" file to the target machine and restart the libvirtd daemon, but the changes I made in test_driver.c is nothing reflected. I'm not sure whether I'm missing something. Is it moving only the "libvirt.so.0.9.10.so" is enough or I need to move some .a files ? , but I'm not seeing any ".a" in the kvm host related to libvirt to replace. Please provide me sufficient info to proceed further. Thanks In Advance, Arun V

[libvirt] [PATCH] fix a ambiguous output of the command:'virsh vol-create-as'
by Hongwei Bi 08 Oct '13

08 Oct '13

I created a storage volume(eg: test) from a storage pool(eg:vg10) using the following command:"virsh vol-create-as --pool vg10 --name test --capacity 300M." When I re-executed the above command, the output was as the following: "error: Failed to create vol test error: Storage volume not found: storage vol 'test' already exists" I think the output "Storage volume not found" is not appropriate. Because in fact storage vol test has been found at this time. And then I think virErrorNumber should includes VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST which can also be used elsewhere. So I make this patch. The result is as following: "error: Failed to create vol test error: storage volume 'test' exists already" --- include/libvirt/virterror.h | 1 + src/storage/storage_driver.c | 4 ++-- src/util/virerror.c | 6 ++++++ 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/libvirt/virterror.h b/include/libvirt/virterror.h index c1960c8..28ef30a 100644 --- a/include/libvirt/virterror.h +++ b/include/libvirt/virterror.h @@ -296,6 +296,7 @@ typedef enum { VIR_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED = 88, /* operation on the object/resource was denied */ VIR_ERR_DBUS_SERVICE = 89, /* error from a dbus service */ + VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST = 90, /* the storage vol already exist */ } virErrorNumber; /** diff --git a/src/storage/storage_driver.c b/src/storage/storage_driver.c index 6c39284..aa5a144 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_driver.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_driver.c @@ -1538,8 +1538,8 @@ storageVolCreateXML(virStoragePoolPtr obj, goto cleanup; if (virStorageVolDefFindByName(pool, voldef->name)) { - virReportError(VIR_ERR_NO_STORAGE_VOL, - _("storage vol '%s' already exists"), voldef->name); + virReportError(VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST, + _("'%s'"), voldef->name); goto cleanup; } diff --git a/src/util/virerror.c b/src/util/virerror.c index ca25678..35bb017 100644 --- a/src/util/virerror.c +++ b/src/util/virerror.c @@ -1004,6 +1004,12 @@ virErrorMsg(virErrorNumber error, const char *info) else errmsg = _("Storage volume not found: %s"); break; + case VIR_ERR_STORAGE_EXIST: + if (info == NULL) + errmsg = _("this storage volume exists already"); + else + errmsg = _("storage volume %s exists already"); + break; case VIR_ERR_STORAGE_PROBE_FAILED: if (info == NULL) errmsg = _("Storage pool probe failed"); -- 1.7.1
