Ah, I missed that. I didn't go through the details of the final message because the "wontfix" tag is still there, so I assumed it still applied. However, even after installing qemu-block-extra and restarting libvirtd, it's still a no-go: ~$ sudo apt-get install qemu-block-extra ~$ sudo systemctl restart libvirtd ~$ cat gluster.xml gluster-test palantir ~$ virsh pool-define gluster.xml error: Failed to define pool from gluster.xml error: internal error: missing backend for pool type 10 (gluster) This is on a fully up-to-date stretch install (qemu 1:2.8+dfsg-6, libvirt 3.0.0-4, gluster 3.8.8-1). -- Dave Sherohman
Re: glusterfs and qemu/kvm
The last post on the bug report indicates that this issue has been fixed. The changelog for the fixed version states: * enable glusterfs support (glusterfs-common), in qemu-block-extra Stretch and newer contain qemu-block-extra, and it depends on glusterfs-common.

glusterfs and qemu/kvm
