Hi, I ran into a strange behavior with libvirt snapshots. I have some vms running with thin-provisioned qcow2 disk images (libvirt 1.1.3 with fedora 20). * When I create a snapshot on the VM, the qcow file suddenly grows big, somewhat bigger than the maximum size of the disk. * When I delete the snapshot, the allocated disk space is not freed up, the qcow image remains the same size. However, if

Hi list, According to the libvirt documentation [1] "Show maximum number of virtual CPUs for guest domains on this connection" This may not be a complete definition. My first guess from the above was that this returns the number of virtual CPUs that can exist at the same time on the host, either one or several VMs. In fact it returned 16 in my fedora 20 desktop running with KVM,

We usually zero-initialize vectors like string_vector names = empty_vector; Allocating and zeroing separately is frequently useful however. Document the pattern string_vector names; names = (string_vector)empty_vector; where "(string_vector)empty_vector" is a compound literal.

Hi. I have a reference .vmdk (and .xml) reference VM. I need to instantiate multiple new VM’s from this, but changing various parameters: name, MAC address, network connections, cores, memory size, disk size and backing store, etc. and then start these new VM’s… all via ‘virsh’ et al from a script. What are the steps to do this? I was looking at the command help and some tutorials but

The beautiful world of uncontained dependencies: - We restrict mockall to 0.11.0, which in practice currently expands to 0.11.4, - mockall depends on predicates-tree, - predicates-tree depends on predicates-core, - approx. two weeks ago, predicates-tree and predicates-core have seen *PATCHLEVEL* upgrades (1.0.7 -> 1.0.9, and 1.0.5 -> 1.0.6, respectively) that now require

Hi all, I would very much appreciate any suggestions on any online resources, or even a decent book to purchase with the focus of brushing up on Linux command line tools. The focus is on troubleshooting type commands, adding users from command line and so forth. While I am reasonably comfortable using the command line, I will be the first to admit I am slow on some things and have gaps in

Per POSIX, execvp() is not safe to call in a child process forked from a multi-threaded process. We can now replace the execvp() call in the child process with a call to our fork-safe (async-signal-safe) variant. Prepare our internal execvpe context on the parent's construction path, use the context in the child, and release the context in the parent on the way out, regardless of whether the

A prior patch highlighted the following leak: when any construction step fails in the parent after fork(), the child process is leaked. We could plug the leak by inserting a new error handling section for killing the child process and reaping it with waitpid(). However, it would raise some new questions (what signal to send, ensure the child not ignore that signal, hope that whatever process

Hi everybody, I'm using libvirt java api bindings for my thesis. I would like to know if there is a way to obtain live information about cpu and mem usage of a domain. Regards, Enrico De Maio Skype: enrico.de.maio Mobile: +39 338 205 3397
