i've reported this issue before, so i guess this is a regression. looks like the python bindings for 0.9.3 are leaking file descriptors: root at cloud1:~# python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 26 2010, 22:31:48) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import libvirt >>>

Hi, I am using the libguestfs-1.11.0-1 binaries posted here: http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/debian-packages/ on a Sid system. When I use libguestfs, I can see that an instance of QEMU is starting up using the binary @ /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 I have KVM installed on the system at /usr/bin/kvm -- how do I ensure that KVM gets used by libguestfs instead of qemu? I guess I can

Hi! The debian packages for libguestfs ( at http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/debian-packages/) are a few months old, and there are some pretty important bug fixes since then. In particular, I have some cumbersome workarounds for the Python GIL bug which was fixed in April. I was wondering if anyone is working on building a new version of these? I tried to do it myself, but I

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if libvirt supports a domain rename feature, like xen's "xm rename" command. I couldn't find anything in the docs suggesting such a function. Am I missing something?

Hi, I am running libvirt 0.8.6 on qemu (kvm, really) 0.12.5. I have noticed that while a live migration is running, I cannot do anything else with libvirt -- even 'virsh list' blocks without output until the migration is almost done. (At that point 'virsh list' will dump a final screen showing the VM I just migrated as 'running'; the next run of 'virsh

I would like to use the virDomainMigrateSetMaxDowntime but I'm a bit confused about how to use it. If I try to set the downtime before I call domain.migrate(), I get the error "domain is not being migrated". But I cannot call it afterwards because domain.migrate() does not return until the migration has completed. Am I meant to put the call to domain.migrate() into a separate

Hi! I'm comparing the cpu usage of a VM from virDomainGetInfo and the usages returned per-vcpu from virDomainGetVcpus and the totals do not match up. I expect that the cpu usages reported per-vcpu, when summed, should equal the total cpu usage of the domain, but there is quite a large gap between them. Is there something I'm missing? See this example code using the python

Hi, I've been trying to come up with a way to do the following operation. I have a /home folder and I want to transfer only the /mail/ folders inside the home folder along with their parent folders. So, if I have the following files: /home/bob/document.doc /home/bob/pr0n/pr0nFile /home/bob/mail/file1 /home/bob/mail/spam/viagra /home/mike/kitten.jpg

hi, i tried to add a 'cache' argument to the 'driver' element in my domainxml for qemu/kvm. i tried adding cache="none" as well as "writethrough" and "writeback", but every time i get these errors: libvirtError: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/1 qemu: could not open disk image

Just to make sure that my strange compiling/packages aren't causing the problem, I've set up two servers running fedora 14 with the official libvirt packages. i experience the same problem -- while a vm is in migration, nothing else works. my traces reveal libvirt getting

Hi! Occasionally of late, I've seen a few cases where libvirtd cpu usage shoots up to 100% and stays there indefinitely. This seems to happen when a QEMU VM is starting up, although on one occasion I *think* I saw it happen after a QEMU VM was p2p-migrated. Doing strace -f -p <libvirtd pid> reveals a flood of poll() functions calls like these: [pid 1690] poll([{fd=3,

Hi! I''m experimenting with Xen 4 on Squeeze. Squeeze uses grub2 by default, and the config format has changed. I can''t for the life of me figure out where to set options for the hypervisor and the Dom0 kernel on bootup. It seems the grub2 stanza for xen is being generated by /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen and that seems to have some provisions for receiving arguments, but I
