Description André Bauer 2016-11-26 14:42:05 UTC

Description of problem:

Qemu can't use libgfapi to access VM images on GlusterFS volume after update  from Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) to Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

- GlusterFS 3.8.6 (from GlustreFS repo on launchpad)
- Qemu 2.5 with GlusterFS support (from https://launchpad.net/~monotek/+archive/ubuntu/qemu-glusterfs-3.8)

How reproducible:

- Start VM via libvirt


Steps to Reproduce:

- virsh start testvm


Actual results:

error: Failed to start domain checkbox
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: [2016-11-26 14:40:21.688834] E [MSGID: 104007] [glfs-mgmt.c:633:glfs_mgmt_getspec_cbk] 0-glfs-mgmt: failed to fetch volume file (key:vmimages) [Invalid argument]

Expected results:

vm started...

Additional info:

Mounting the volume with fuse works without problems.

Comment 1 Stephen 2017-09-25 09:40:45 UTC

Any updates? As far as I know this was still the case with 3.10 and other releases. Nothing helpful appears in the logs, but Ubuntu 16.04 LTS doesn't work with libgfapi whereas 14.04 does.

Comment 2 André Bauer 2017-09-25 11:15:19 UTC

Maybe it's good idea to ask @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/1274247


If the Mir is done there should be no need to use the packages from my ppa and it works out of the box.

Comment 3 Niels de Vos 2017-11-07 10:41:56 UTC

This bug is getting closed because the 3.8 version is marked End-Of-Life. There will be no further updates to this version. Please open a new bug against a version that still receives bugfixes if you are still facing this issue in a more current release.
