Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.7.5-5 Severity: normal When I tried to use an already existing volume group as a storage pool for libvirt, it failed with "internal error lvs command failed".
After tracking this down a bit, I find that there is a problem in how libvirt is parsing the output from the 'lvs' command. It fails if a logical volume is striped over more than one physical volume. The function virStorageBackendLogicalFindLVs() as defined in src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c to be more precise. Since it assumes there is only one physical volume listed in the lvs output, it fails with this error later on: error : virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo:784 : cannot open volume '/dev/vgcrypt/autobahn-root,,VpmDC9-f9zt-13JG-ftRE-1VeE-PILT-pMAaLC': No such file or directory The output from my lvs, that is fed to libvirt, is: # lvs --separator , --noheadings --units b --unbuffered --nosuffix --options lv_name,origin,uuid,devices,seg_size,vg_extent_size autobahn-root,,VpmDC9-f9zt-13JG-ftRE-1VeE-PILT-pMAaLC,/dev/block/254:4(0),/dev/block/254:5(0),/dev/block/254:3(0),6442450944,4194304 The regex does not allow for more than one device, so it thinks that the whole UUID belongs to the LV name as well. (This is most probably an upstream problem, but upstream encourages us to report it for our separate distribution) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libvirt-bin depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii hal 0.5.14-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii libavahi-client3 0.6.25-3 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.25-3 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap-ng0 0.6.2-4+b1 An alternate posix capabilities li ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdevmapper1.02. 2:1.02.39-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libgcrypt11 1.4.4-6 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.8.5-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libhal1 0.5.14-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libparted1.8-12 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-5 The GNU Parted disk partitioning s ii libpciaccess0 0.11.0-1 Generic PCI access library for X ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsasl2-2 2.1.23.dfsg1-3 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libudev0 150-2 libudev shared library ii libuuid1 2.16.2-0 Universally Unique ID library ii libvirt0 0.7.5-5 library for interfacing with diffe ii libxenstore3.0 3.4.2-2 Xenstore communications library fo ii libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-2+b1 GNOME XML library ii logrotate 3.7.8-4 Log rotation utility Versions of packages libvirt-bin recommends: ii bridge-utils 1.4-5 Utilities for configuring the Linu ii dnsmasq-base 2.51-1 A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP ii iptables 1.4.6-2 administration tools for packet fi ii netcat-openbsd 1.89-3 TCP/IP swiss army knife pn qemu <none> (no description available) Versions of packages libvirt-bin suggests: pn policykit-1 <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
