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
It seems there is another problem with my configuration that causes
libvirt to have problems with autostarting virtual machines. I am using
software RAID 1 with mdadm and my virtual machines are running on an
LVM2 partition on md0. It seems the LVM2 volume is not yet available at
the point where
I can reproduce this on a fresh Ubuntu 11.04 using two 11.04 virtual
machines (I had better luck with my previous 10.10 install that did work
properly for me).
The patch provided by Mika does not seem to work for me, libvirt does
not seem to be started properly with it (my domains are not shown
I have this problem as well: Ubuntu 9.10 and reading mount points from
an ldap server. The ldap server is running on a guest virtual machine,
while the host itself needs autofs. Tried moving autofs from S19 in the
init scripts to S30 (after libnss-ldap and after qemu-kvm and libvirt-
bin), but
Is there anything we can do to help somebody looking into this? I'm
happy to provide more information if necessary. Should we look into
other related packages that might cause the problem and file bug reports
for those? For me this bug is pretty much a show stopper, autostarting
domains is
I tried setting bridge_maxwait=0, I only booted two times thereafter to
see what happened. In both occasions some of the VM's with autostart
booted, but not all of them (first time 2/5, second time 4/5). So, at
best this might have helped a bit, but it is not a solution for the
problem.
The
I've been able to start up all domains consistently on each boot of the
host OS, by changing the parameters of the partition the host OS is
installed on. I've forced a check of this filesystem on each system
boot, and all domains are running consistently after the host is booted.

Just rebooted the host, which started checking the file system.
Thereafter all domains seemed to be up. Unsure whether this was
coincidence (can't remember seeing all domains up after a reboot
before), or whether the extra boot time somehow caused the domains to
come up as expected.
