Hi folks,
I'm trying to to attach a disk to an instance using libvirt. The problem is, this disk has external snapshots. The process tried was:
1 - Attach a disk in the domain: virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk.xml[1] --live
2 - Snapshot the disk[2]: virsh# snapshot-create instance-00000006 --quiesce --xmlfile /tmp/snap-from-disk.xml[2] --disk-only
3 - Dump the domain XML and create a new disk file from it: virsh# dumpxml instance-00000006 ... [3]
4 - Dettach the device and re-add it using the new disk file: virsh# detach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml[4] Device detached successfully virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Property 'virtio-blk-device.drive' can't find value 'drive-virtio-disk1'

Hi Erlon, Since you say you got Permission denied error while the ACL mode is 777， I guess it is due to security system like selinux or apparmor. As I know, selinux defaultly will disable qemu to use volume based on NFS. We need to use 'setsebool virt_use_nfs 1' to enable it. Well, your OS is ubuntu, so I think apparmor causes the permission problem. Try to find a way to enable virt_use_nfs or disable apparmor. Then check if the problem can be reproduced.

If that was the case I wouldn't be able to attach a volume without snapshots. But just in case I did the following test, before attaching the file, I copied all the file to a local folder and changed the path in XML with the new paths.

Hi，Erlon I was not able to reproduce your problem. It is ok to attach disk with external snapshot. I did it with following steps: # qemu-img create /tmp/vdb 100M Formatting '/tmp/vdb', fmt=raw size=104857600 # virsh start snap Domain snap started # virsh snapshot-create-as snap s1 --disk-only --diskspec vdb,file=/tmp/vdb.s1 --quiesce Domain snapshot s1 created # virsh dumpxml snap|awk '/<disk/,/<\/disk/' <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/snap.s1'/> <backingStore type='file' index='1'> <format type='qcow2'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/snap.qcow2'/> <backingStore/> </backingStore> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/tmp/vdb.s1'/> <backingStore type='file' index='1'> <format type='raw'/> <source file='/tmp/vdb'/> <backingStore/> </backingStore> <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk1'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0c' function='0x0'/> </disk>

So I managed to attach disks with snapshot. I want to know what is your libvirt and qemu-kvm version? And can you provide your files: /tmp/disk.xml[1], /tmp/snap-from-disk.xml[2], /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml[4], /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml . I need more details.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to to attach a disk to an instance using libvirt. The problem is, this disk has external snapshots. The process tried was:
1 - Attach a disk in the domain: virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk.xml[1] --live
2 - Snapshot the disk[2]: virsh# snapshot-create instance-00000006 --quiesce --xmlfile /tmp/snap-from-disk.xml[2] --disk-only
3 - Dump the domain XML and create a new disk file from it: virsh# dumpxml instance-00000006 ... [3]
4 - Dettach the device and re-add it using the new disk file: virsh# detach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml[4] Device detached successfully virsh# attach-device instance-00000006 /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml error: Failed to attach device from /tmp/disk-with-snap.xml error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Property 'virtio-blk-device.drive' can't find value 'drive-virtio-disk1'
Question, is this operation supported? If yes, how is the correct procedure?
