When running non-root, the QEMU log file is usually opened with truncation, since there is no logrotate for non-root usage. This means that when libvirt logs the shutdown timestamp, the log is accidentally truncated * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Never truncate log file with shutdown message --- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 8 ++++---- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c index bf6cd0e..2a686dc 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_driver.c @@ -741,7 +741,7 @@ static int qemuCgroupControllerActive(struct qemud_driver *driver, } static int -qemudLogFD(struct qemud_driver *driver, const char* name) +qemudLogFD(struct qemud_driver *driver, const char* name, bool append) { char logfile[PATH_MAX]; mode_t logmode; @@ -756,7 +756,7 @@ qemudLogFD(struct qemud_driver *driver, const char* name) logmode = O_CREAT | O_WRONLY; /* Only logrotate files in /var/log, so only append if running privileged */ - if (driver->privileged) + if (driver->privileged || append) logmode |= O_APPEND; else logmode |= O_TRUNC; @@ -3964,7 +3964,7 @@ static int qemudStartVMDaemon(virConnectPtr conn, } DEBUG0("Creating domain log file"); - if ((logfile = qemudLogFD(driver, vm->def->name)) < 0) + if ((logfile = qemudLogFD(driver, vm->def->name, false)) < 0) goto cleanup; DEBUG0("Determing emulator version"); @@ -4245,7 +4245,7 @@ static void qemudShutdownVMDaemon(struct qemud_driver *driver, VIR_DEBUG("Shutting down VM '%s' pid=%d migrated=%d", vm->def->name, vm->pid, migrated); - if ((logfile = qemudLogFD(driver, vm->def->name)) < 0) { + if ((logfile = qemudLogFD(driver, vm->def->name, true)) < 0) { /* To not break the normal domain shutdown process, skip the * timestamp log writing if failed on opening log file. */ VIR_WARN("Unable to open logfile: %s", -- 1.7.2.3
