Hi all, Trying to test libvirt 1.1.3 with virtlockd locking my qcow2 images on a NFS storage between two kvm hosts. ./configure ... --with-init-script=upstart Libvirtd upstart script is actually well generated but I can't see nothing about virtlockd... or am I blind ? :) Nevertheless, running virtlockd -d && service libvirtd restart works fine. Am I wrong thinking that editing

Hi list, I would like to ask a clarification about how locking works. My test system is CentOS 7.7 with libvirt-4.5.0-23.el7_7.1.x86_64 Is was understanding that, by default, libvirt does not use any locks. From here [1]: "The out of the box configuration, however, currently uses the nop lock manager plugin". As "lock_manager" is commented in my qemu.conf file, I was

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

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

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

I am building a application for my university and I would like to make this application authenticate agains a Active Directory server. I would like to know if there is an already built solution for this somewhere online ?

Hi Everyone I'm new to samba and I have been trying in vein to find a solution to this problem. I am setting up a linux samba server as a domain member server. It is part of the MAINT workgroup. Winbind and Samba authenticate correctly. The issue arises when I try to limit the users who are allowed to use a my share folder. Most of the information I have lookup seem to say that I should

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

Hello, I''m running XEN 3.0.3 on RHEL5 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen. I used to start the vm with "xm create myvm -c". I see the boot during a couple of second, then, it freeze. The console is freezed, not the vm, a couple of second later, I can ssh the vm without any problem. "xm console myvm" also display a freezed state. This is an extrat of the console : # xm

I'm using ubuntu 12.04LTS I setup a bridged network: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_fd 0 bridge_maxwait 0 Seems to work. Then I created a virtual machine using Ubuntu's vmbuilder tool like so: vmbuilder

I''ve been using lvm under centos to create the backing store for domUs and although the performance seems acceptable it has some shortcomings. The biggest of which is the LVM bug which prevents me from removing an lv (it says it is still mounted and it definitely isnt). I thought this was just a centos bug but it appears to be evident in debian and ubuntu too and I really can''t

Hello, I am writing an LLVM backend that generates byte code for a custom virtual machine. Standard function calls are lowered to a simple CALL $offsetInByteCode This works fine so far using the standard machinery of LLVM. But some functions are not implemented in byte code, but delegated to native implementations within the VM. Calls to these functions use a non-standard calling convention

Dear All, I am trying to use VM (disk) locking on a two node Centos 7 KVM cluster. Unfortunately, I am not successful. Using virtlockd (https://libvirt.org/locking-lockd.html), I get each host to write the zero length file with a hashed filename to the shared folder specified. Regardless of which host I start a VM (domain) on, they do produce the identical filename per VM. What does not work,
