There may have been a fix for this issue in the meantime). Remember, libvirt strives for backward-compatibility, so you can always drop in a newer libvirt where an older one used to work. This warning is worth heeding, but not mandatory to fix. This, on the other hand, is the reason that libvirtd is not starting. Are you actually using uml? If not, it may be easiest to rerun ./configure, but this time pass --without-uml, to disable this code. If you are, then you'll probably have to step through the initialization under gdb to see why inotify isn't working. Yes, this error is expected when libvirtd fails to run. I'll repeat the advice we have already given you about avoiding disclaimers by sending from a personal account, but this time by copying a humorous blurb first posted elsewhere (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2013-01/msg00092.html) READ CAREFULLY.
