Hello.
I'm seeing this error while doing a backup of a VM.
+ virsh blockcommit kaltura vda --active --verbose --pivot
Block Commit: [100 %]error: failed to pivot job for disk vda
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command
'block-job-complete': The active block job for device
'drive-virtio-disk0' cannot be completed
I'm on qemu 2.2.0 and libvirt-1.2.11.
Does someone else see this error? Libvirt.log says:
2015-01-07 11:18:07.000+0000: 19355: warning :

Any ideas?
thanks and cheers

Based on this message, it is qemu that is refusing to do the pivot, but
I don't know if that is because of permissions on the destination file,
or something else (that is, it may still be a libvirt bug for not
putting things in the right state for the qemu command to have a chance
of succeeding). What distro are you using? Is AppArmor or SELinux at
play, where temporarily getting that out of the way might change things?

This may also be the sign of a libvirt bug in not tracking lock states
correctly. I've had other reports of bogus behavior, so I'm trying to
take another audit of the code this week to see if I can find a problem
in the libvirt code.

I'm using Gentoo. There is no selinux or apparmor enabled on this machine.
Should i file a bug report?
thanks and cheers

Should i file a bug report?
I colleague of mine pointed me in the right direction. There was a cdrom
defined in the virtual machine. After removing it the process runs as
expected:
+ virsh blockcommit kaltura vda --active --verbose --pivot
Block Commit: [100 %]
Successfully pivoted
This leads to the question how would i use blockcommit under those
circumstances? Should i detach the cdrom prior blockcommit run? Should i
file a bug report? Are you already taking care of this problem Eric?
thanks and best regards

It seems the real cause is qemu 2.2.0. The error reaccurred the other
day even with only one disk configured. After downgrading to qemu-2.1.2
no problems so far.
