** Description changed:
Reproducible: Yes, every time.
Background:
When you create a virtual machine (VM) under KVM/Qemu in Ubuntu,
apparmor files are created as:
/etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-<UUID>
- and
+ and
/etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-<UUID>.files
And in the file /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-<UUID>.files there is
the line
- "PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE" rw,
+ "PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE" rw,
- where PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE is the full path name of the image. ( E.g.
something like /var/lib/libvirtd/images/asdf.qcow2)
- and <UUID> is the UUID of the VM container.
+ where PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE is the full path name of the image. ( E.g.
something like /var/lib/libvirtd/images/asdf.qcow2)
+ and <UUID> is the UUID of the VM container.
The problem:
When creating a shapshot of a running VM under KVM/Qemu you run the
command
$ sudo virsh snapshot-create-as DOMAIN_NAME DESCRIPTION --no-
metadata --disk-only --atomic
which creates a new file and stops writing to the old VM block device.
However: the old PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE in /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt
/libvirt-UUID.files is deleted and replaced with the new block device
info BEFORE virsh is done creating the snapshot. So you get the error
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'transaction':
Could not open 'PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE': Could not open
'PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE': Permission denied: Permission denied
and in /var/log/syslog you get the error:
type=1400 audit(1449752104.054:539): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="libvirt-<UUID>" name="PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE" pid=8710 comm
="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=106 ouid=106
+ When you look now at /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-<UUID>.files you
+ find that the line that was there
- When you look now at /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-<UUID>.files you find
that the line that was there

+ "PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE.DESCRIPTION" rw,
- has been replaced with
-
- "PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE.DESCRIPTION" rw,
-
-
- but you need BOTH LINES. in order for the command "virsh snapshot-create-as"
to work. (or at least have the old file have read permissions)

Workarounds:
1. Disable apparmor for libvirtd
- or
+ or
2. Change /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-<UUID> to look like this
+
----------
#
# This profile is for the domain whose UUID matches this file.
- #
-
+ #
+
#include <tunables/global>
-
+
profile libvirt-UUID {
- #include <abstractions/libvirt-qemu>
- #include <libvirt/libvirt-UUID.files>
-
- "PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE*" rw,
- }
+ #include <abstractions/libvirt-qemu>
+ #include <libvirt/libvirt-UUID.files>
+
+ "PATH_to_BLOCK_DEVICE*" rw,
+ }
-----------
+ (
+ So if the old line was
+ "/var/lib/libvirtd/images/asdf.qcow2" rw,
+ , the line you can add would read something like this
+
+ "/var/lib/libvirtd/images/asdf*" rw,
+
+ )
