Unmanaged devices, as the name suggests, are not detached automatically from the host by libvirt before being attached to a guest: it's the user's responsability to detach them manually beforehand. If that preliminary step has not been performed, the attach operation can't complete successfully.
Instead of relying on the lower layers to error out with cryptic messages such as
error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/hostdev.xml error: Path '/dev/vfio/12' is not accessible: No such file or directory
prevent the situation altogether and provide the user with a more useful error message. --- src/util/virhostdev.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+)
Like noted in 1/2 - I think this needs to be merged into the previous. Including this commit message. ACK with that John
