Re: [libvirt-users] systemctl libvirt-guests.service fails to start during host boot
Thanks Andrea,
Yes I confirm to you that I have enabled libvirt as well.
I don't see any error right now but I have to investigate a little bit more.
My guests are in autostart in virsh so everything is fine on this, the
only issue I got is in case of shutdown.
The strange thing is that sometimes libvirt-guests is up and running
sometimes failed...
just for info this is my libvirt-guests.service (by default)

That's very weird. Apparently, libvirtd is not running by the
time libvirt-guests is started, despite the fact that the
unit file for the former contains
Before=libvirt-guests.service
and the one for the latter contains
After=libvirtd.service
That should be more than enough to ensure the proper ordering
is followed when starting / stopping the services.
Is the libvirtd service enabled at all? Are there any startup
errors / warnings? Does the libvirt-guests service actually
bring up the guests that were running before shutdown when
you start it a second time?
