It's easy to shed the daemon these days. With this XML snippet: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/some/dummy/path/test.bin'> <seclabel model='dac' relabel='no'/> </source> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <readonly/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> I get the SIGSEGV when starting the domain. The thing is, when starting a domain, we check for its disk presence. For some reason, when determining the disk chain, we parse the <seclabel/> (don't ask me why). However, there's no label attribute in the XML, so we end up calling virParseOwnershipIds() over NULL string: [Switching to Thread 0x7ffff10c4700 (LWP 30956)] __strchr_sse42 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr.S:136 136 ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr.S: No such file or directory.
