Here is the command
[root@test2 images]# virsh attach-disk 1 /var/lib/libvirt/images/disk.qcow2  vdb  --driver file --subdriver qcow2
Disk attached successfully

Here is the log I found relevant (too much under debug mode)

Than you very much.

It seems attaching virtio-disk1 failed.
Can you provide the log when you attach virtio-disk1?
