Hi,

I'm trying to use qemu native glusterfs integration with libvirt. It's all working well from the qemu side, but libvirt fails to start a domain with a gluster drive or attach a drive.
I have exactly the same error as this person: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2013-April/msg00204.html

I use qemu 1.5.1 with glusterfs 3.4 beta 4 and libvirt 1.0.6.

[root@bbox ~]# virsh start test
error: Failed to start domain test
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 (label charserial0)
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=gluster://127.0.0.1/vol0/test0.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw: Gluster connection failed for server=127.0.0.1 port=0 volume=vol0 image=test0.img transport=tcp
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=gluster://127.0.0.1/vol0/test0.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw: could not open disk image gluster://127.0.0.1/vol0/test0.img: No data available

Using this command to run qemu directly works like a charm:
[root@bbox ~]# qemu-system-x86_64 -name test -machine pc-i440fx-1.5,accel=kvm,usb=off -m 8G -smp 1,maxcpus=4 -drive file=/pool/st01/test_1.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0,bootindex=1 -drive file=gluster://127.0.0.1/vol0/test0.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -monitor stdio -qmp unix:/tmp/qmp-sock,server,nowait

Image has been created using qemu-img.
[root@bbox ~]# qemu-img info gluster://127.0.0.1/vol0/test0.img
image: gluster://127.0.0.1/vol0/test0.img
file format: raw
virtual size: 10G (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 341K


Everything is run as root, libvirtd daemon as well. Running libvirtd in debug mode doesn't seem to log more relevant informations than the virsh error.

Has anyone been able to use glusterfs disks with livbirt ??


Any help appreciated,
-O.
