Thank you very much. It is exactly the same output as mine, particularly
<driver name='file' type='qcow2'/> I thought it has to be name='qemu' to detach properly but since you didn't have a problem, I am very lost on why mine didn't work. My libvirtd.log shows (with debugging turned on) 14:43:18.965: debug : qemuMonitorCommandWithHandler:235 : Receive command reply ret=0 errno=0 33 bytes 'Device 'virtio-disk1' not found^M ' 14:43:18.965: debug : virEventDispatchTimeouts:405 : Dispatch 3 14:43:18.965: debug : virEventDispatchHandles:450 : Dispatch 8 14:43:18.965: error : qemuMonitorTextDelDevice:2314 : operation failed: detaching virtio-disk1 device failed: Device 'virtio-disk1' not found^M Do you know what the "device not found" error means? Thanks. Shi
