Public bug reported: I am trying to create a logical volume storage pool with persistent device names for the block devices, because I can't/don't want to ensure that /dev/sd* names are persistent through reboots.
virsh # pool-define-as web2067 logical - - /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:18:00.0-scsi-0:2:2:0 web2067 /dev/web2067 virsh # pool-build web2067 These two steps work as expected and the pv and the vg get created, but when I try to start the pool I get the following error: virsh # pool-start web2067 error: Failed to start pool web2067 error: unsupported configuration: cannot find any matching source devices for logical volume group 'web2067' If I do the same steps just with /dev/sdX instead of /dev/disk/by-path/..., the pool gets created correctly. According to the libvirt mailing list /dev and /dev/disk/by-path are supposed to work the same way. ** 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/1801918 Title: storage pool with persistent device names fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1801918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
