[libvirt-users] problem w/ libvirt-0.8.2-15.el5 and CentOS

I am running the Eucalyptus 2.0 cloud computing platform on an up-to-date
CentOS 5 using the xen hypervisor. While attempting to attach a volume
successfully created using jclouds with eucalyptus to a running VM
instance, I encountered the following error:

          libvirt: Requested operation is not valid: Xm driver only supports
modifying persistent config (code=55)

i also tried attaching manually (i.e. euca-atttach-volume) and experienced
the same failure.

i found this discussion which mentions a possible libvirt/xen problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=662908

however it does not appear that the fix is available for public consumption
(at least i couldn't find it).


from the Eucalyptus nc.log:
