Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: important
I have a number of VMS which use qcow2 files as disks.
After upgrading to 0.8.3-1 they failed to boot, with messages like "No
bootable device".
The issue appears to be that the XML files in /etc/libvirt-bin/qemu
contain disk definitions like
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu'/>
<source file='/var/local/qemu/images/laurel.qcow2'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
Note that the "driver" element does not include the "type" attribute.
Adding "type='qcow2'" to the driver element and restarting libvirt-bin
resolves the issue, but not before seriously stressing out the operator
:)
Virt-manager does not provide a mechanism for specifying the format of
existing disk files, and adding a new disk based on an existing qcow2
file silently specifies "type='raw'", whereas previously it simply
omitted the attribute and appeared to determine it automatically at
run time; the new version assumes existing files are raw images, both
for exisitng VMs with no 'type' attribute, and when adding an existing
disk image to a VM.
I appreciate that automatically determining the image format is
hazardous when one of the options is 'raw', but please add something to
README.Debian and ideally notify the operator about this change in
behaviour if they have VMs defined that don't specify the format of
a disk image.
I'm separately filing a wishlist bug against virt-manager, asking for
the option to specify the format of existing disk image files.
