Hi there, I have been successful in building the latest libvirt code from the git repository. The options I used to build is
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --without-xen --with-qemu --with-qemu-user=oneadmin --with-qemu-group=oneadmin --without-uml --without-vbox --without-openvz --without-lxc Please note that I have specified qemu user and group to be non-root. So far the libvirtd service and virsh both seem to work fine but I have a few issues 1. Before running "virsh create", the image belongs to user oneadmin. During the run, it still does. But the as soon as I shutdown/destroy the instance, the image ownership changes to -rw-rw—— 1 root root I don't understand why. Is this a bug? 2. From the documentation at http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html, the directories /var/run/libvirt/qemu/, /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/ and /var/cache/libvirt/qemu/ must all have their ownership set to oneadmin:oneadmin. However, mine are still set to root:root and it does not seem to affect the running of libvirt/qemu/kvm. For example, onead...@test2:~$ ls /var/run/libvirt/qemu -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 2009-11-27 13:22 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 100 2009-11-27 13:07 .. -rw------- 1 root root 4 2009-11-27 13:22 client.pid -rw------- 1 root root 1250 2009-11-27 13:22 client.xml 3. The libvirtd service still shows the warning message: warning : qemudStartup:904 : Unable to create cgroup for driver: No such device or address I read from earlier posts that the --without-lxc option should get rid of this message. Thank you for your help. -- Shi Jin, PhD -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
