Turns out, there are couple of bugs that prevent this feature from being operational. Given how close to the release we are disable the feature temporarily. Hopefully, it can be enabled back after all the bugs are fixed. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> --- There are two major problems: 1) when using regular locking the lockspace code gets confused and starting domain is denied after hitting 60 second timeout. 2) the virtlockd connection FD might leak into children process resulting in sudden killing of libvirtd. I posted a patch for 2), and I'm working on patch for 1). src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug | 1 - src/qemu/qemu.conf | 9 --------- src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 11 ----------- src/qemu/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug.in | 1 - 4 files changed, 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug b/src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug index 42e325d4fb..ddc4bbfd1d 100644 --- a/src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug +++ b/src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug @@ -98,7 +98,6 @@ module Libvirtd_qemu = | bool_entry "relaxed_acs_check" | bool_entry "allow_disk_format_probing" | str_entry "lock_manager" - | str_entry "metadata_lock_manager" let rpc_entry = int_entry "max_queued" | int_entry "keepalive_interval" diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu.conf b/src/qemu/qemu.conf index 84492719c4..8391332cb4 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu.conf +++ b/src/qemu/qemu.conf @@ -659,15 +659,6 @@ #lock_manager = "lockd" -# To serialize two or more daemons trying to change metadata on a -# file (e.g. a file on NFS share), libvirt offers a locking -# mechanism.
