Hi all!
I'm trying virt-manager on Debian Wheezy and I noticed that it has
already defined a "default" pool. But if I run:
# /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
I lose the definition of the pools. Actually, there are the definitions
of the pools; but these are not read after restarting libvirt.
ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jun 1 09:36 autostart
-rw------- 1 root root 664 jun 1 13:46 default.xml
ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 may 24 07:24 default.xml -> /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml
After restart libvirt:
virsh # pool-list
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
This is what I see in libvirtd.log:

could this be due to some type of error in the XML file that defines the
pool?

ss01:~# ls -ld /var/lib/libvirt/images
drwx--x--x 2 root root 4096 may 27 11:03 /var/lib/libvirt/images
So I adapted the permissions to this directory:
<permissions>
<mode>0700</mode>
<owner>0</owner>
<group>0</group>
</permissions>
After restarting libvirt, the pool was recognized:
virsh # pool-list
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default active yes
Then I went back to create another pool:
virsh # pool-define-as ISO dir - - - - "/space/isos"
Pool ISO defined
virsh # pool-start ISO
Pool ISO started
virsh # pool-autostart ISO
Pool ISO marked as autostarted
virsh # pool-list --all
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default active yes
ISO active yes
Files are created:
ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# ll
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jun 2 15:49 autostart
-rw------- 1 root root 646 jun 2 15:05 default.xml
-rw------- 1 root root 644 jun 2 15:48 ISO.xml
ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart# ll
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 may 24 07:24 default.xml -> /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 jun 2 15:49 ISO.xml -> /etc/libvirt/storage/ISO.xml
But it seems that the permissions are equally incorrect:
ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# cat ISO.xml

This have to do with a bug when using libvirt on a 32-bit operating system?

system?
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/thread.html#01048
and since that thread discusses a fix that wasn't until commit 37a1012
(0.10.0), you are correct that your version of libvirtd has a bug, and
that upgrading would fix things for you.

Taking advantage of the new feature "multiarch" of Debian, I've migrated
the VMHost to amd64 architecture and after that, I did not have this
problem.
Still, I see the <owner> </owner> and <group> </group> in the
configuration file created after creating a pool once migrated to
libvirt-bin amd64, have values that do not seem to correspond with UID
and GID. This is normal?

These values are -1 printed as an unsigned 32-bit number. We use -1 to mean
default (the uid/gid libvirt is running as).
This gets parsed as a signed integer and fails on 32-bit, since it's too big.
But on 64-bit it works the same as specifying '-1' would.
It's not normal and it's printed as -1 again since 0.10.0, fixed by commit
37a1012 mentioned by Eric in the last e-mail.
