Public bug reported: When doing libvirt/apparmor ISO testing, I noticed that if I try to create a VM via an ISO image, I get the following apparmor denied message: type=APPARMOR_DENIED msg=audit(1255714703.311:56): operation="open" pid=31330 parent=1 profile="libvirt-7e7f916e-ff5a-c997-e9f6-c379793fd5be" requested_mask="::rw" denied_mask="::w" fsuid=0 ouid=1000 name="/home/jamie/vms/isos/karmic/karmic-desktop-i386.iso"
What is happening is that libvirt is for some reason trying to write to this file, but it shouldn't. virt-manager shows this device as readonly and the XML for the VM shows it too: <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <source file='/home/jamie/vms/isos/karmic/karmic-desktop-i386.iso'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> The installation proceeds just fine and this isn't a regression, but libvirt should not try to write to installation media like this. I encountered this when installing via virt-manager using the following: local ISO, os type: generic/generic, kvm/i686, 512, 1 vcpu, 8GB disk, don't allocate now ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Oct 16 12:47:32 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: libvirt-bin 0.7.0-1ubuntu11 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.47-generic SourcePackage: libvirt Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64 ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- libvirt via virt-manager tries to write to a readonly ISO image https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453335 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
