Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.3-5
Severity: normal
I have libvirt-bin 0.8.3-5 in squeeze. I am trying to attach more disks to a
kvm image. The qemu driver is unsupported.
Attaching a new disk using virsh won't work:
# virsh attach-disk guest_server file.img vdb --type=disk --driver=qemu
error: No support for qemu in command 'attach-disk'
The only way to add a new disk is using driver=file. That is later unsupported
by kvm and the xml config file must be fixed manually:
# virsh attach-disk guest_server file.img vdb --type=disk --driver=file
Disk attached successfully
# virsh stop guest_server
# virsh start guest_server
error: Failed to start domain sonja
error: internal error unsupported driver name 'file' for disk
'/var/lib/libvirt/images/file.img'
I found a workaround changing the driver to from file to qemu using virsh edit.
It looks like it is fixed upsteam in release libvirt-0.8.2-8.el5
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609422
Though dpkg -l libvirt-bin shows I have: libvirt-bin 0.8.3-5 this feature
still fails. Even with a different parameters suggested there:
# virsh attach-disk guest_server file.img vdb --sourcetype block --driver
qemu --subdriver raw
error: command 'attach-disk' doesn't support option --sourcetype
