[Bug 665531] Re: libvirt no longer supports format=host_device
Uhm... this fix for Lucid (and therefore probably the older one in 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.5) did really break a working system!! We had a running system with Opennebula/KVM/libvirt and after last upgrade libvirt 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.3 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7 creating virtual machines didn't work anymore for qcow2 images... I don't discuss if format=host_device should be supported or not, but in any case the changes affecting it were IMHO unnecessary in a stable release like Lucid!! I confidently perform updates on a stable release expecting the system to keep working, we were forced to downgrade libvirt to the lucid/release version to get it working again.

Shad, your issue is related in that upstream changed how it probes disk. For more details, you can read http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1008-1.

[Bug 665531] Re: libvirt no longer supports format=host_device
The format=host_device discussion can be seen here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-November/msg00276.html Upstream does not have an interest in fixing this, stated that it was never intended to work, and acknowledges some documentation problems. As such, I am going to mark the maverick and natty tasks as Won't Fix. I will publish my change for Lucid since the security update broke the previously unintentionally working behavior, but this will not be forward ported to Maverick or later. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Maverick) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Natty) Assignee: Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand) = (unassigned) -- libvirt no longer supports format=host_device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665531 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

Maverick and later users should transition to 'format=raw' and let QEMU handle the protocol automatically. -- libvirt no longer supports format=host_device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665531 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 665531] Re: libvirt no longer supports format=host_device
I'm not sure if this is any help, if it's related, or at all relevant but I thought I'd throw out something that I noticed. I recently did a clean install on my system and upgraded to Maverick. I have had a heck of a time getting my vm's back up and running. I was able to get them to boot if I interfaced with KVM directly however when I used virt- manager I would consistently get an error, Boot failed: not a bootable disk followed by No bootable device. as if there wasn't a boot device at all. I found this bug and at random tried changing the allow_disk_format_probing to 1 and my vm booted. I tested by disabling the disk format probing and my problem returned. My thought was that maybe the vm wasn't able to read the boot sector of the image. It was just a random guess after I've pounded on this problem for about a week. I'm not terribly experienced with these things but I'd be happy to offer some logs or whatever I can if it would be of service. You might have to help me out with how to obtain them but I'd love to be able to contribute something. Kudos to all of you work on these things, it's greatly appreciated!

Thank you, the driver name='qemu' type='raw'/ change solved the problem. It works with the latest libvirt (0.7.5-5ubuntu27.6). It was my mistake then, to use a deprecated option.
