[libvirt] libvirt glusterfs problem
Hi I am running libvirt 1.2.0 on ubuntu. The main purpose of this libvirt 1.2.0 is for glusterfs, now I can define glusterfs storage pool using virsh command, but when I tried to create the volume under the gluster storage pool, I got error. error: Failed to create vol from tt.xml error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: storage pool does not support volume creation. But according to this url http://libvirt.org/storage.html we can create the volume. Any body please help me. Br. Umar

Correct; this part hasn't been implemented yet. For now, you have to create volumes outside of libvirt, and libvirt's gluster pool is a read-only view of what already exists. Would you like to help write the patches to implement more libvirt control over the gluster pool?
But according to this url http://libvirt.org/storage.html
we can create the volume.
That URL says that not all pools support all operations. What would be really nice is a page like http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html, except that it would display storage backends vs. supported storage pool operations by version. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
Hi Eric, Thanks for this quick reply, well I don't have much experience of writing patches. But I will be very happy if I can do something for this. Br. Umar On Sat, Dec 14, 2013 at 12:39 AM, Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> wrote:
