Using libvirt 1.0.1, I'm trying to start an LXC container using the
'<filesytem type="block">' syntax, like this:
<filesystem type="block" accessmode="passthrough">
<source dev="/dev/vg_files/vm-foobar-root" />
<target dir="/" />
</filesystem>
The specified block device exists:
# ls -lL /dev/vg_files/vm-foobar-root
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 19 Dec 21 22:23 /dev/vg_files/vm-foobar-root
If I start the domain, it appears to start without any errors...
# virsh start foobar
Domain foobar started
...but it's not actually running. The log files (with loglevel=2)
don't seem to be very interesting; this is everything from the
instance log file:

Running an "strace" on the libvirtd process (strace -p <libvirtd_pid>

Is this supposed to work? It seems like the support for having
libvirt mount the block device is relatively recent, and I haven't had
much luck finding examples of other folks using this capability.

Lars,
I just gave it a whirl. And I'm able to reproduce the same issue you
are seeing. The issue appears to be that
lxcContainerMountFsBlockAuto() is never being called. It was added in
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg00201.html
Hopefully I'll have more info soon.

It appears in the case of filesystem type=block the libvirt_lxc helper
just gets wedged right away from first execution.

That's the last time anything with PID 7294 or lxc appears in the log

the log using LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUT=1:stderr

Did you check the last version libvirt?
I can't reproduce this problem with last libvirt.

Did you check the last version libvirt?
I can't reproduce this problem with last libvirt.
Thanks!

So still trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with LXC because I
just can't get any joy. So I'll go one issue at a time.
The following VM definition:
<domain type='lxc'>
<name>testdeb</name>
<uuid>df03b2ce-725a-42e2-39e4-d646be8facb3</uuid>
<memory unit='KiB'>332768</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>332768</currentMemory>
<vcpu placement='static'>1</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>exe</type>
<init>/sbin/init</init>
</os>
<clock offset='utc'/>
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
<on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator>
<filesystem type='block' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dev='/dev/mapper/vms-testdeb'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='52:54:00:95:d5:f2'/>
<source network='default'/>
</interface>
<console type='pty'>
<target type='lxc' port='0'/>
</console>
</devices>
</domain>
Results in /dev/mapper/vms-testdeb being mounted right over my host's
/ partition. Here's the output from mount:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs
(rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=497278,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
/dev/mapper/vms-testdeb on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
proc on /proc/sys type proc (ro,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (ro,relatime)
tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=64k,mode=755)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuset)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpu)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuacct)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/memory type cgroup (rw,relatime,memory)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup (rw,relatime,devices)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer type cgroup (rw,relatime,freezer)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,relatime,blkio)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio type cgroup (rw,relatime,net_prio)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc
(rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid)
Now if I do the following:
# mkdir /mnt/testdeb
# mount /dev/mapper/vms-testdeb /mnt/testdeb
And change the definition to:
<filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
<source dir='/mnt/testdeb'/>
<target dir='/'/>
</filesystem>
It at least appears to work. The LXC domain boots but believes it only
has R/O access to its /.
As a side note, I created it with:
# mount /dev/mapper/vms-testdeb /mnt/testdeb
# debootstrap squeeze /mnt/testdeb

So, it seems I only tested 'type=block with non-/ filesystem
mounts. I can confirm it is broken for <target dir="/"/>.
The fix is not exactly trivial, so might take me a while

What does /proc/mounts say inside the container for '/' ? When I
do this I get a full R+W filesystem in the container

mounts. I can confirm it is broken for <target dir="/"/>.

Ok, I've pushed 5 changes which fix this setup for me, so hopefully it
will work for you too.

Daniel,
So I've given the changes a shot with both filesystem types, block and
mount and I'm running c9c87376f2b2197ad774533ad6a6dd2f631ca105. Both
ways I get the following error:
error: Failed to start domain testdeb
error: internal error guest failed to start: PATH=/bin:/sbin
TERM=linux container=lxc-libvirt
container_uuid=df03b2ce-725a-42e2-39e4-d646be8facb3

LIBVIRT_LXC_NAME=testdeb /sbin/init
error receiving signal from container: Input/output error
The error message after the internal error guest failed to start",
changes between runs. The following mount is left behind, one for each
time I've tried to start the domain:
libvirt on /run/libvirt/lxc/testdeb.fuse type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev)
And lastly the following is left behind:
ls -l /var/run/libvirt/lxc/

I just gave it a whirl. And I'm able to reproduce the same issue
you
are seeing. The issue appears to be that
lxcContainerMountFsBlockAuto() is never being called. It was added in
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg00201.html
Hopefully I'll have more info soon.
I tried this with latest GIT and did not experience any problems.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img count=100 bs=1M
# losetup -f /root/disk.img
# losetup -a
/dev/loop1: [64768]:3774561 (/root/disk.img)
# virsh -c lxc:/// dumpxml busy | xpath /domain/devices/filesystem[2]
Found 1 nodes:
-- NODE --
<filesystem type="block" accessmode="passthrough">
<source dev="/dev/loop1" />
<target dir="/mnt" />
</filesystem>
# virsh -c lxc:/// start busy
Domain busy started
# virsh -c lxc:/// console busy
Connected to domain busy
Escape character is ^]
# ls /mnt/
lost+found
# grep /mnt /proc/mounts
/.oldroot/dev/loop1 /mnt ext2 rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0
