Hi, I would like to be able to configure VMs running off dm-crypt devices that were unlocked in the host. Unlocked dm-crypt devices show up in /dev/mapper/devicename, with devicename being the second parameter given to cryptsetup luksOpen. The LVM storage pool type insists on searching in /dev/vgname and cannot be tricked into reading /dev/mapper by giving it a fake VG named mapper; the LVM

Hi, I have virt-manager 0.9 connecting to a libvirtd 0.9.3 on Debian unstable. Hypervisor being used is KVM. In a VM, I can select the "IDE CDROM 1" and click on "disonnect" which makes the virtual disk disappear from the virtual drive and the former disconnect button now reads "connect". Hence, when I click there, nothing happens. Currently, the only way I am

Hello, I currently have an "interesting" task to accomplish: An IT environment with about 90 % Windows and 10 % Linux machines would like to unify backup. Currently, the Windows world backs itself up to tape using Backup Exec; the Linux world has Amanda backing up to a big disk RAID. This RAID is acting up and is scheduled to disappear. The current plan is to back up the Linux world

Hi, in port knocking setups, it would be great to have the possibility to execute a shell command before the ssh connection is actually initiated. That way, one could configure ssh like host foo hostname foo.bar.example user baz pre-connect knock foo.bar.example 1234 5678 and transparently initiate the connection by saying ssh foo. ssh would then first invoke the knock process and then initiate

Hi, I have dovecot 1.0rc15 on Debian and would like to allow plaintext auth not only from the local IP address but from the entire local network, but not from everywhere. Is that configurable? I am looking for something like "allow_plaintext_auth = 10.8.0.0/24". Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber |

Hi, Here is a new wording for the "Exim4 on Debian" part of the web page on http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualhostingWithExim. It's immutable, so I cannot directly change it. I e-mailed Florian, but he cannot log in to the wiki any more. Can somebody with appropriate privileges change the page? --------------------- If you are using the exim4 packages on Debian, you need to pay

Hi, my test host is running Debian/GNU Linux unstable and has virt-manger 0.9.5 and libvirt 1.2.1. I am using encryption and thus have devices in /dev/mapper that are not LVs, for example called /dev/mapper/myvirtualdisk. I'd like to configure libvirt in a way that allows me to directly assign such devices to a VM. This does not work when I create a filesystem directory storage pool in

Hi, I am virtualizing with KVM via libvirt and virt-manager. To have decent amounts of Entropy in the guest, I tried loading virtio_rng in a running VM. Despite the module being loaded, I didn't get any log entries, and also no /dev/hwrng. Do I need to enable the virtualized random generator in libvirt/virt-manager? If so, how do I do that? Is the support for this rather recent feature

Hi, I am trying to access my Galaxy Tab from Samsung KIES running on Windows 7 inside a KVM VM. This unfortunately does not seem to work as expected. My Distribution is debian unstable. I therefore have qemu-system-x86 version 1.4.0+dfsg-1exp, libvirt 1.0.3-1 and virt-manager 0.9.4-2. lsusb shows the Tab as follows: Bus 001 Device 016: ID 04e8:6877 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy S in

Hi, I would like to use btrfs subvolumes as storage place for VM images to use snapshots. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work in virt-manager at least since the "filesystem directory" storage pool type does not allow me to descend into subdirectories. Is there a trick to do this? Can I do it with virsh, or in the XML? Greetings Marc --

Hi, I have a virtualization host running KVM and libvirt 0.9.12 (on Debian unstable). I would like to connect with virt-viewer 0.5.4 from a different host to a domain that has Display Spice configured as graphics interface. I can connect to the KVM host using virsh --connect=qemu+ssh://mh at fan.local/system and start m KVM domain from there, so I guess that authentication is just fine.

Hi, I am using rsync to keep two directores on two servers in sync. Machine A, the "client" is the one where the rsync process is invoked, which then logs into Machine B, the "server" as root with ssh and a key. The key is restricted in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys to a script that checks wither $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND matches the rsync --server command that I expect, such as, for

Hello, after two decades without a dedicated file server at home, it is about time to have Samba. While I am mainly a Linux guy there is a couple of systems that don't find rsync and sshfd adequate. We do have a handfull of standalone Windows 10 machines, a bunch of smartphones and a zoo of home entertainment appliances such as a TV, Sat receivers, IP radios/audio players. In addition to

Hi Everyone, I need to be able to create a summary report of all relevent syslog entries that is then emailed weekly. The idea I have for this is to pipe the syslog entries (logged from many hosts UNIX-Like and Windows) out to a a named pipe (say /var/log/logpipe) that is then read periodically by a perl script started from cron. The perl script then filters the log entries (probably using

Hi, I would like to run a network firewall as a VM on a KVM host. There are ~ 25 VLANs delivered to the KVM host on three dedicated links, no LACP or other things. I have the VLANs 100-180 on the host's enp1s0, the VLANs 200-280 on the host's enp2s0 and the VLANs 300-380 on the host's enp3s0. To save myself from configuring all VLANs on the KVM host, I'd like to hand the entire

This will be the last Shorewall release for a while as I''m going to be focusing on Documentation. In this release: 1. Empty and invalid source and destination qualifiers are now detected in the rules file. It is a good idea to use the ''shorewall check'' command before you issue a ''shorewall restart'' command be be sure that you don''t
