Hello all,

I am getting a error, when creating a sheepdog pool via libvirt. libvirt is compiled as:

./configure --prefix=/opt/libvirt --without-xen --with-yajl --with-storage-sheepdog=/opt/sheepdog

Sheepdog is functional, when creating manually a vdi via "qemu-img" and than using as disk in libvirt.

The error looks like this:

internal error missing backend for pool type 9

The peace of log:

The pool XML:

<pool type="sheepdog">
        <name>mysheeppool</name>
        <source>
          <name>mysheeppool</name>
          <host name='localhost' port='7000'/>
        </source>
</pool>

Kind regards
