I changed my upstart script to ensure both the bridge and the md0 device (on which the LVM volume is located) are started before libvirt is started. In my situation this makes sure all my virtual machines can be started. However, different virtual machines can have different dependencies on (possibly slow) hardware being available or not. Perhaps it is a good idea to create separate upstart scripts for each virtual machine? This way it could be ensured that the hardware a specific virtual machine is relying on is brought up.
I fixed my problems with the following `start on' line in /etc/init /libvirt-bin.conf: start on runlevel [2345] and net-device-added INTERFACE="br0" and block- device-added DEVNAME="/dev/md0" br0 is the bridge I am using md0 is the raid volume on which the LVM2 volumes are located, it seems (although I'm not 100% sure) that the block-device-added event is always fired after all LVM volumes on the block device are up -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495394 Title: autostart almost always fails on boot time host -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
