Hi @paelzer, Thanks!
I had in mind to submit the patch for Debian libvirt if/once the allocation request is granted on Debian. Of course, I can submit in advance and mention it's awaiting for base-passwd. Could you help w/ the base-passwd process? I believe it's @cjwatson who handles this on Debian and Ubuntu, right? For reference, this is the e-mail sent to Debian base-passwd: -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: request uid and gid allocation for libvirt-qemu Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:27:00 -0200 From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <mauri...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> To: base-pas...@packages.debian.org CC: pkg-libvirt-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Hi, I'd like to request an uid and gid for the libvirt-qemu user/group. This is in support of guest migration with disk images over NFS. That requires the same uid/gid on source and target host systems, otherwise IO requests for disk images (owned by libvirt-qemu) fail with -EACCES, which causes IO errors in a guest undergoing migration. The patches for libvirt will be submitted if the allocation is granted. According to 'base-passwd/README': > You *may not* use any uids or gids in the 60000-64999 range without > *first* requesting an allocation from base-pas...@packages.debian.org > and waiting for confirmation that the allocation has been granted.
