> - What directory is your pool located in? I have three directories. 1. default (/var/lib/libvirt/images) - This is where ISOs are stored for new virtual machines. 2. servers (/vms) - This is where new virtual machine images are stored. 3. storage (/data) - This is where data volumes for virtual machine is stored. So when trying to create the new VM, I'm attempting to create it in /vms, but am getting that error. > - What are the permissions on that directory, and on the images that are created in it? r...@galaxy:~# ls -la /var/lib/libvirt/images/ total 698888 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 29 11:11 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 25 00:42 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 715644928 Aug 16 06:19 ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64.iso drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 31 2009 usb r...@galaxy:~# ls -la /vms total 13510092 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 1 19:42 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Aug 29 11:37 .. -rw------- 1 root root 16106127360 Sep 18 11:48 server1.img drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Oct 30 2009 lost+found -rw------- 1 root root 5368709120 Sep 18 11:48 server2.img -rw------- 1 root root 1166737408 Aug 29 01:56 server3.img r...@galaxy:~# ls -la /data total 130792764 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 29 11:06 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Aug 29 11:37 .. -rw------- 1 root root 123960229888 Sep 18 06:31 server1_data.img drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Oct 30 2009 lost+found -rw------- 1 root root 9971761152 Sep 18 11:42 server2_data.img One difference between the default directory and custom directories I'm using is that the custom directories are separate LVM partitions. > - Is the image used by any other vm on that machine? (maybe an old vm that used the same image name?) No, it's not in use by another vm on the machine. I've used unique names each time in case it was somehow clinging to old image names. -- unable to add existing storage image to KVM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564678 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
