Public bug reported:
I am trying to start a libvirt domain using xml containing :
<disk type='file'>
<source file='/home/ubuntu/test2-image/disk'/>
<target dev='sda'/>
</disk>
I'm launching image with:
$ virsh --connect qemu:///system start test1
Where 'disk' was created with:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=disk.dist disk
$ qemu-img info disk
image: disk
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 3.0G (3273654272 bytes)
disk size: 140K
cluster_size: 65536
backing file: disk.dist (actual path: disk.dist)
it seems that the apparmor profile that is generated for the domain is not
allowing access to disk.dist .
I see errors like the following in kern.log:
Mar 22 14:33:26 kearney kernel: [603157.344449] type=1503
audit(1269286406.316:70): operation="open" pid=14067 parent=1
profile="libvirt-b66591be-dfd5-3240-fee6-a26ca1247d8b" requested_mask="::r"
denied_mask="::r" fsuid=0 ouid=1000 name="/home/ubuntu/test2-image/disk.dist"
This issue can be workd around by either:
a.) do not use qemu-img backing store images
b.) run virsh with sudo and have both disk and disk.img with root:root
ownership.
