[libvirt-users] VM with transient disk

30 Oct 2011


      I want to use transient disks with libvirt.
According to [1], the transient disk feature has been supported since 0.9.5.
Hence, I have installed libvirt 0.9.6 for Ubuntu Lucid from [2] and used 
the following disk configuration:

      <disk type='file' device='disk'>
           <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
           <source file='/home/till/test.img'/>
           <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
           <transient/>
      </disk>

However, I get:
unsupported configuration: transient disks not supported yet

Best,
Till
