** Description changed: Binary package hint: virtinst libvirt 0.8.3 and later (and the upcoming libvirt update for lucid- security) does not probe qemu disks for the image format and defaults to 'raw' when the format is not specified in the XML. This breaks virt- - install --import because it does not allow for specifying a disk format - and does not specify a format in the XML. + install --import because the version in maverick does not allow for + specifying a disk format and does not specify a format in the XML. - TEST CASE: + TEST CASE (in maverick release): $ virt-install --connect=qemu:///session --name test-import --ram=256 --disk path=<path to existing qemu non-raw image>.qcow2 --import $ virt-viewer --connect=qemu:///session test-import # shows that disk cannot be found + TEST CASE (after update to -proposed): + $ virt-install --connect=qemu:///session --name test-import --ram=256 --disk path=<path to existing qemu non-raw image>.qcow2,format=qcow2 --import + $ virt-viewer --connect=qemu:///session test-import # image starts fine + WORKAROUND: After importing, use /usr/sbin/libvirt-migrate-qemu-disks
