Hello libvirt experts,
I use libvirt (0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7) with KVM / qemu (0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.2).
Some machines use raw images but same use Virtualbox images (.vdi).
Since last Ubuntu 10.04 LTS update I can not start the vdi-images.
The "driver name= type=" option was new.
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='vdi'/>
<source file='/path/image.vdi'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
But when I try "type=vdi" I got in the Log-File:
libvir: Security Labeling error : error calling aa_change_profile()
so I checked:
cat vdi-machine.xml | /usr/lib/libvirt/virt-aa-helper -r --uuid
libvirt-XXXXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX --dryrun -p 0
libvir: Domain Config error : internal error unknown disk format 'vdi'
for image.vdi
virt-aa-helper: error: invalid VM definition
Next I checked libvirt.org:
http://libvirt.org/storage.html
Valid volume format types
raw, bochs, cloop, cow, dmg, iso, qcow, qcow2, vmdk, vpc
=> But what is the right type for .vdi-Images?
By the way, the examples at this site does not know the "driver
nametype=" option.
Thank you very much.

This is a bug.
