[Bug 667986] Re: Disk image type defaults to raw since 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5
As this information is not that easy to come by, here is a sample code for domain xml file. You have to specify driver tag with attribute type set to the image type. (Or alternatively, as described in security notice, adjust the 'allow_disk_format_probing' option in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf) Example: disk type='file' device='disk' driver type='qcow2'/ source file='myDisk.qcow2'/ ... /disk -- Disk image type defaults to raw since 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- 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
[Bug 667986] Re: Disk image type defaults to raw since 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5
We now use the type= part. Something different but also related to this new behavior. Live migration seems to crash the VM with VM's started before the upgrades. I can't reproduce it beceause all hosts are upgraded and I now don't do live migrations anymore because of 3 fails out of 3. The live migration only crashes the VM when we use qcow2 and migrate to another host which is also upgraded. The destination host reads the qcow2 as raw ouch! The VM on the destination has the driver type='raw'/ with virsh dumpxml. On the source host it was driver type='qcow2'/. -- Disk image type defaults to raw since 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- 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

My bad. libvirt-migrate-qemu-disks is unable to migrate my disks. The dumpxml output is the same after using libvirt-migrate-qemu-disks. Thats why a live migration failes. -- Disk image type defaults to raw since 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- 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

Thank you for using Ubuntu and filing a bug. This change was made to fix several security vulnerabilities.

It seems to be I missed that security notice. ;) Without the security notice it is impossible to understand what changed by reading only the changelog. There is no link to the security notice in the changelog and the available links in the changelog don't contain any words about changed default behavior. So for future upgrades I simply have to search in the security notices to get know of any changes to? -- Disk image type defaults to raw since 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/667986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- 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
