Package: xen-utils-4.4 Version: 4.4.1-9 Severity: normal # /usr/lib/xen-4.4/bin/xl create -c /etc/xen/katana Parsing config from /etc/xen/katana libxl: error: libxl_utils.c:217:logrename: failed to rotate logfile - could not rename /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-katana.log.6 to /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-katana.log.7: Permission denied Segmentation fault
The above happens repeatably when I run xl on a system where renaming log files is not permitted. [4746481.560999] xl[9245]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffcebe12858 error 14 in xl[400000+24000] [4746626.766885] xl[9313]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffcd0340d18 error 14 in xl[400000+24000] Above are the kernel messages from two runs of xl. In this case the files were read-only due to a bug in SE Linux policy, but they could be read-only due to a filesystem error, use of chattr +i, or other reasons. It would be OK for xl to report an error and abort, pretty much anything other than a SEGV would do. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xen-utils-4.4 depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.42.12-1.1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libxen-4.4 4.4.1-9 ii libxenstore3.0 4.4.1-9 ii libyajl2 2.1.0-2 ii python2.7 2.7.9-2 pn python:any <none> ii xen-utils-common 4.4.1-9 Versions of packages xen-utils-4.4 recommends: ii bridge-utils 1.5-9 pn grub-xen-host <none> ii qemu-system-x86 1:2.1+dfsg-11 ii xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64 [xen-hypervisor-4.4] 4.4.1-9 xen-utils-4.4 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
