Hi, Fabian.

We have tested root read and write access to NFS mount in KVM worker node and it works correctly. As you stated, when we create a persistent image, Opennebula creates a link to the registered image in /var/lib/{VID}/image. We are using FreeNAS 8.0 Final Release for shared storage and it implements NFSv3.

When a new instance is deployed using a persistent image, the image changes a quarter of a second to libvirt-bin:kvm file permissions, instance fails to boot with "permission denied" error and persistent image in repository changes its file permissions to root user and root group.

When we use a non persistent image, KVM instance boots correctly cloning the registered image to /var/lib/{VID}/image/disk.0, and it has libvirt-bin:kvm file permissions during RUNNING state.

Please, any clue regarding this issue would be really appreciated.

Best Regards,
Alberto Picón

We have some a problems using persistent KVM images in Opennebula 3.0 RC1.

Our configuration is as follows:

Opennebula Front-End Ubuntu LTS 10.04
KVM worker node Debian Queeze 6.0.2
NAS for NFS Shared storage

Please, can you give us any clue regarding this issue?. Persistent mode
for KVM VMs is essential for us...

Is root allowed to read/write in the NFS mounted images folder? Check the options in /etc/exports on the NFS server. Eventually you also need to force the client (cluster node) to mount it using NFSv3 (instead of NFSv4).

With persistent images, the images stays in the images folder and is only linked from the <vm_id>/images/ folder. KVM does run with root privileges.
