[libvirt-users] VirtualBox driver : creating storage for a new machine

Hi, Another thing I'm strugglin with: When creating a new domain from scratch using the proposed XML format in the documentation, everything works fine - basically. A problem that I'd like to solve now is that I would expect to be able to create new volumes within libvirt. I started with a basic XML file in order to define a pool, but virsh told me that creating pools is not supported by the VirtualBox hypervisor.
From the code and different hints I learned that there is only one pool with a dummy UUID, named "default-pool".
Next I tried to create a new volume from a XML file, but the only thing I'm getting are segmentation faults. Has anybody used this approach successfully ? Otherwise I assume that I have to create the VDI files manually using VirtualBox GUI/VBoxManage or vboxshell.py. Thanks in advance, Regards, Christian

Hi Christian, Are you using the latest git head? Asking the question because it's broken at the moment. Some commits on friday killed it. :/ If that's the problem you're having, you can roll back to this commit and the segfaults shouldn't happen: 8914453 phyp: reduce scope of driver functions If you're not using the latest git head, then just ignore this email. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Salasaga - Open Source eLearning IDE http://www.salasaga.org
