Since ages qemu is locking the image files (I think since 18.04) and that seems to block the command here.
IIRC Read-only readers can flag their open calls to skip that (e.g. qemu-img has an option --force-share). Not sure what virt-clone uses here, but whatever it is needs the similar treatment. @IBM IMHO this isn't a new bug or has this worked before (recently) and now fails? If you run this regularly please let us know when this started to fail. Changing to src:virt-manager which contains virt-clone but leaving the actual initial triage to JFH/Andrewc ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => virt-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873887 Title: virt-clone fails on a suspended (paused) guest, whereas documentation claims the clone should be successful.
