Hi all, on CentOS7 / RHEL7 launching virt-manager causes a "discovery process" of the various configured VMs.
This discovery is executed by inspection and overlayed disk files and it create a very short lived guest-xxxzzzyyy virtual machine. The end result is a pretty icon to the left of the virtual machine entry (ie: CentOS icon for a CentOS VM) and the list of installad packages inside the virtual disk.
That said, I would like to disable such behavior. How can I do that? Thanks.
Hi, The option to enable/disable this feature was implemented recently in upstream [1]. In order to get it into CentOS/RHEL you would have to create a BUG for it. As a workaround you can uninstall python-libguestfs package which is used by virt-manager to run the introspection. If that package is missing importing guestfs in the python code fails and the feature is disabled.
