Hi Eric, Here is my try to write a quick upstart script for virtlockd. It should be named /etc/init/virtlockd.conf, then : ln -s /lib/init/upstart-job /etc/init.d/virtlockd It seems to work for me : # virtlockd - Locking daemon for libvirt description "virtlockd" start on filesystem and runlevel [2345] stop on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[016] pre-start script test -x

Hi all, I'm testing virtlockd with libvirt 1.1.3 and it seems I can't migrate my VMs from the first to my second kvm node (on a NFS storage). Virtlockd is locking my qcow2 : Error : resource busy Lockspace resource 'ea3jkj78.....' is locked As a result my VM is paused. How can I fix this behavior ? Thank you for your help.

Hello. I'm playing with libgfapi network disks, over IB and all is working fine, but not disk locking (and true rdma transport). I use virtlockd, and with fuse mount, locking works as expected. But when i converted disk definitions to libgfapi, locks are not created (but qemu starts and works fine). I used direct and indirect locking - same result : qemu working fine, no locks. my

Eric, Well, in case where several servers may start the same virtual machines after a reboot for exemple. http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2013-August/003887.html I've seen this hook here : http://www.wogri.at/en/linux/ceph-libvirt-locking/ But it's a hook...

Hi, I've read in the documentation that virtlockd uses SIGUSR1 to dump its state and then re-execs itself. Now I tried it and this seems to fail because virtlockd is being launched without a full path (when using the init script), thus re-exec fails with the error: error : virLockDaemonPreExecRestart:1092 : Unable to restart self: No such file or directory Changing in the init script

I have several Qemu/kvm servers running VMs hosted on an NFS share, and am using virtlockd. (lock_manager = "lockd" in qemu.conf) After a power failure, one of the VMs will not start, claiming that it is locked. How do I get out of this? thanks, Steve Gaarder System Administrator, Dept of Mathematics Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA gaarder@math.cornell.edu

Hello! Is it possible to disable the virtlockd daemon or VM file locking? I start qemu with a -snapshot option which prevents and changes to the disk image anyways. Using <readonly /> is not supported for IDE disks. Another option would be to not require locking on the NFS share, but i have no idea how. Can someone help me with that? Regards Felix Queißner
