Hint, don’t upgrade you libvirt 1.2.12 to 1.2.16 yet. I use 1.2.16 with Qemu 2.2. and now
I get a warning at the end of commiting the external snapshot:
warning : virEventPollUpdateTimeout:268 : Ignoring invalid update timer -1
All seems to go well so I won’t downgrade libvirt but it still worries me…
I’m going to test Qemu 2.4 in Ubuntu 16.04 in march…

'block-commit': Could not reopen file: Permission denied
Hi ,
Based on the discussion and links referred as mentioned in earlier thread , I could able
to perform the block commit and other operations successfully. Here are the changes
required to perform block commit
1. Used Ubuntu 15.04 which has following versions of Libvirt and Qemu
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.12
Using library: libvirt 1.2.12
Using API: QEMU 1.2.12
Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.2.0
-- Need to mention here : The Qemu version 2.3 certainly has some issues regarding the
block commit as lowering the version to 2.2 resolved "active block job" issue.
2. Modified the configuration /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
- Had to modify the qemu.conf file which is under /etc/libvirt to resolve the
permission denied error.
- Added security_driver="none"
Supportive reference :
https://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html
I have two question regarding this.-
1. Is there any way we can avoid modifying /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf for security driver
changes and perform block commit . ?
2. Has anyone tried with Qemu 2.4 for blockcommit and related operations ? Does it work ?
(I know this might not be relevant to libvirt users for sure it will help if someone
trying block commit and related operations)
Thanks,
Keyur Bhalerao

This is not a libvirt/redhat question…
With your method you can only revert to versions which are available in the standard
repositories. You’ll have to download the packages manually to force a different version.
Use with caution. There is a reason why the version isn’t in the standard repositories.

'block-commit': Could not reopen file: Permission denied
Hi
Was trying to get specific qemu-kvm version. Do you know any way to get the 2.1.2
installed. Was trying sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm=1.2.1 but its not working.
Tried with sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm tree=1.2.1
But both have failed for Version not found.
Thanks

Thanks Kashyap for replying.
QEMU has permissions to the directory which is having images. I will look into the
AppArmor issue and find out more about this.
Also as per suggestion from the link i have uncommented the user and group from the
qemu.conf file -
https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/issues/996
By checking more on the AppArmor and sVirt issue , i have modified the qemu.conf for
security_driver="none". The result for this is no permission error but another
error which can be related to QEMU 2.3.0
virsh # blockcommit vm-01 vda --verbose --pivot --active
Block Commit: [100 %]error: failed to pivot job for disk vda
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'block-job-complete': The
active block job for device 'drive-virtio-disk0' cannot be completed
Searched more for this type of error and found -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1455475
Looks like bug in QEMU 2.3.0 . Checking now with QEMU 2.1 for the same.
Let me know if anything to more look for.
Thanks,

Fairly obvious suggestions, ensure permissions are set so that QEMU has
permissions to the dir that contains images.
Or it could be an AppArmor issue.
Also, check your logs:
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/$VM.log
/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log (assuming you have debug logging
enabled)
I am not sure why this is getting as permission denied. I have
tried
couple of times reinstalling and creating new VMs . Every time when i
have tried to block-commit getting landed into same error.
Is there any troubleshooting or solution to this issue. Stuck on this
issue for last 2 days. Quick help much appreciated.
Thanks, Keyur Bhalerao
