Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu Server 11.10 with 0.9.2-4ubuntu15.1 and tried to have my VM images reside on a virtual disk using hardware raid. It's mounted as /mnt/store and I tried to enter this as a directory based pool in virt-manager/libvirt byt then I get "error: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info char dev'" when statring a VM (it works for managing volumes)
According to another bug report it could have been an apparmor issue so I tried bind mounting it under the default location for VMs but this doesn't work either. I fixed this temporarily by using the fs type volume pool but then I get my raid mounted in the libvirt folder which is quite inconvenient and it's unclear when in the boot process libvirt mounts it so I can't just bind mount it in /etc/fstab ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915429 Title: directory based pool not working across mount points To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/915429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
