Public bug reported:
Installed KVM and Virt-Manager successfully.
When trying to add storage pool as local directory on my ext4 file system, I
get this error:
Error creating pool: Could not build storage pool: unable to control COW
flag on '/var/lib/libvirt/images/pool', not btrfs: Function not
implemented
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 75, in cb_wrapper
callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createpool.py", line 378, in
_async_pool_create
poolobj = pool.install(create=True, meter=meter, build=build)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/storage.py", line 415, in install
raise RuntimeError(errmsg)
RuntimeError: Could not build storage pool: unable to control COW flag on
'/var/lib/libvirt/images/pool', not btrfs: Function not implemented
It seems that virt-manager is trying to disable the COW flag and returns an
error because my file system is not BTRFS.
Tested on 2 fresh installs of Ubuntu Studio 20.10
Tested on 1 install of Ubuntu 20.04.1 and virt-manager has no issues with
local storage on ext4 file system.
