Public bug reported:
Apparmor prevents qemu-kvm guests from using ZFS volumes.
[Impact]
* ZFS storage pools are not usable.
[Test Case]
0) Create a zpool (system specific so not documented here)
1) Create a ZFS storage pool (named like your zpool, "internal" here)
virsh pool-define-as internal zfs
virsh pool-start internal
2) Create a volume
virsh vol-create-as internal foo 2G
2) Create a KVM guest
4) Edit the guest's XML profile to use the ZFS volume (zvol)
<disk type='volume' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<source pool='internal' volume='foo'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>
5) Start the guest
The guest refuses to start:
# virsh start nms
error: Failed to start domain foo
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
2017-03-29T22:07:31.507017Z qemu-system-x86_64: -drive
file=/dev/zvol/internal/foo,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,cache=none:
Could not open '/dev/zvol/internal/foo': Permission denied
dmesg reveals the culprit:
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="libvirt-988a8c25-5190-4762-8170-55dc75fc66ca" name="/dev/zd224"
pid=23052 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=109
ouid=109
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="libvirt-988a8c25-5190-4762-8170-55dc75fc66ca" name="/dev/zd224"
pid=23052 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="wr" denied_mask="wr" fsuid=109
ouid=109
Checking /etc/apparmor.d/libvirt/libvirt-$UUID.files shows that no
"/dev/zdXX" has been added.
