[libvirt-users] Pools are not persistent

Hi all! I'm trying virt-manager on Debian Wheezy and I noticed that it has already defined a "default" pool. But if I run: # /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart I lose the definition of the pools. Actually, there are the definitions of the pools; but these are not read after restarting libvirt. ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jun 1 09:36 autostart -rw------- 1 root root 664 jun 1 13:46 default.xml ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart# ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 may 24 07:24 default.xml -> /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml After restart libvirt: virsh # pool-list Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- This is what I see in libvirtd.log: 2013-06-02 01:05:29.709+0000: 19289: info : libvirt version: 0.9.12 2013-06-02 01:05:29.709+0000: 19289: error : virStorageDefParsePerms:613 : XML error: malformed owner element 2013-06-02 01:05:30.210+0000: 19289: error : virExecWithHook:424 : Cannot find 'pm-is-supported' in path: No existe el fichero o el directorio 2013-06-02 01:05:30.211+0000: 19289: warning : qemuCapsInit:949 : Failed to get host power management capabilities 2013-06-02 01:05:33.014+0000: 19289: error : virExecWithHook:424 : Cannot find 'pm-is-supported' in path: No existe el fichero o el directorio 2013-06-02 01:05:33.014+0000: 19289: warning : lxcCapsInit:77 : Failed to get host power management capabilities 2013-06-02 01:05:33.025+0000: 19289: error : virExecWithHook:424 : Cannot find 'pm-is-supported' in path: No existe el fichero o el directorio 2013-06-02 01:05:33.025+0000: 19289: warning : umlCapsInit:87 : Failed to get host power management capabilities could this be due to some type of error in the XML file that defines the pool? ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# cat default.xml <!-- WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE.
