Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.40
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-libvirt-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi,
I'd like to request an uid and gid for the libvirt-qemu user/group.
This is in support of guest migration with disk images over NFS. That
requires the same uid/gid on source and target host systems, otherwise
IO requests for disk images (owned by libvirt-qemu) fail with -EACCES,
which causes IO errors in a guest undergoing migration.
The patches for libvirt will be submitted if the allocation is granted.
(patches for sid & Ubuntu currently attached in Launchpad bug #1637601)
According to 'base-passwd/README', this message has also been directly
sent to base-passwd@p.d.o (as follows). This bug report is for tracking
purposes, if that helps.
> You *may not* use any uids or gids in the 60000-64999 range without
> *first* requesting an allocation from base-pas...@packages.debian.org
> and waiting for confirmation that the allocation has been granted.
Thank you,
