Hello!
I have written a script which attaches some USB tokens as hostdev devices
to (qemu) VMs managed by libvirt. This works fine as long as I call the
script manually.
But what I really want to do, is run this scrip from a startup hook, so
that whenever a Vm is started, it looks if there are appopriate tokens
available for attachment. But when the script is run from the hook, it
(along with the whole libvirtd) freezes. That doesn't really come as a
surprise, since http://libvirt.org/hooks.html explicitely states
A hook script must not call back into libvirt, as the libvirt daemon is
already waiting for the script to exit.
A deadlock is likely to occur.
How can I get around this problem?
cheers
Mat
