similar to: RBD snapshots

Hi (Eric?), A couple of questions while using the 'virsh blockpull' Summary: 1] Created snapshots this way: base<-snap1<-snap2<-snap3 (online, external snapshot --disk-only) 2] I did a 'virsh blockpull' from snap2 into snap3 3] Next, did another 'virsh blockpull' from snap1 into snap3 - Here, 'qemu-img info /path/to/snap3' shows its backing file

Hello Richard, I'm using: >> virt-sysprep 1.25.6 I honestly don't remember if the currently installed version is from the tarball or pulled from the github source...

Hello everybody, virt-install --version 1.4.0 How do I create a ceph network disk with virt-install without having to edit it? <disk type='network' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <auth username='libvirt'> <secret type='ceph' uuid='ec9be0c4-a60f-490e-af83-f0f27aaf48c9'/>

Hello, I'm having a problem when trying to use virt-sysprep against vms that have rbd disk images. When I run virt-sysprep I get the following error: >> root@kitt:~/libguestfs-1.22.4# virt-sysprep -d server-clone-test --firstboot firstboot.sh >> Examining the guest ... >> Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("rbd: image name must begin with a '/'") My

I don’t see any obvious setting to change the wrap. Thanks for being accommodating; this was indeed easier to read (alas, many web mailers these days lack settings for automatic wrap, so I end up whacking the

Hello Richard, Thanks for the reply. Indeed this behaviour exists in 1.25.6. Grepping through the source [1], there are a number of files in "./po/*.po[t]?" that contain this message, but I think it's ./src/drives.c where the fail condition is actually detected / set. On line 300 there is an if statement that checks the first character is a slash: if (exportname[0] !=

Hello Richard, Haha, ok, here's a good one: I commented that if statement out at line 300, applied your patch (I see you updated the github of this code, perhaps that's the best place to grab the code from), and when I run virt-sysprep, I get the following parameter for my disk drive: >> qemu-system-x86_64: -drive

Hello, I'm having trouble connecting to rbd images. It seems like somewhere the name is getting chewed up. I wonder if this is related to my previous troubles [1] [2] with rbd images. I'm trying to add an rbd image, but when I launch the guestfs object I get an error: >> libguestfs: trace: launch = -1 (error) I'm adding a single RBD >> libguestfs: trace: add_drive

Hi Kashyap Chamarthy: thank you very much for answer my question: 一： lead to VM filesystem becoming read-only 1： test case it lead to VM filesystem becoming read-only test case as follows: we want to snapshot for VM , to obtain VM incremental data，and use virsh blockcommit，qemu-img commit，qemu-img rebase to shorten snapshot chain. Details are as follows（when VM running state， we perform the

Hi, I'm using libvirt 5.0.0 on a Ceph cluster. The VM disks are all from the same Ceph pool, so all my <disk> elements are basically the same: <disk type="network" device="disk"> <driver name="qemu" type="raw" cache="none"/> <source protocol="rbd" name="vmdisks/VOLNAME">

While I realize you want to trivially clone VMs with some state at random point in time, you might want to look into `virt-builder` about cloning VMs. It has some sensible advice: http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#clones Using
