Description of problem: Hot-removing a virtio-blk device succeeds even if the guest did not remove it, because device was in use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 Preview How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a virtio-blk device 2. Mount it on the guest, grab a reference to the device 3. Hot remove it in virt-manager Actual results: The icon for the disk disappears in virt-manager, even though the guest did not successfully removed it. Perhaps its not checking the return value from pci_del properly? Or pci_del response is wrong for some reason. Expected results: Should display "cannot remove device from guest", which does happen if you attempt to remove for example vda where the guest root filesystem is mounted. Additional info:
Hum, maybe this is not a virt-manager fault. The device is dead on the guest (trying to umount it hangs forever). But the pci device is there, so the guest did not ack the ACPI removal event.
Actually, it was working with kvm-74 installed. After the upgrade to the new qemu packages in FC11 PCI hot-add broke: pci_add 0 storage file=/tmp/file10,if=scsi Invalid pci address^ info balloon Which is the old syntax for pci_add.

This sounds like a different bug - could you file it separately? Sounds like libvirt needs code for the new syntax
Mark, I'll retest the original issue once virt-manager is talking the new syntax, and open a new bug in case its still problematic.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fixed upstream http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=326ecb78145cfeb7706ef0dcd521b19d934950e7 commit 326ecb78145cfeb7706ef0dcd521b19d934950e7 Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange> Date: Mon Jul 6 15:58:55 2009 +0100 Fix PCI device hotplug/unplug with newer QEMU * src/qemu_driver.c: Try new monitor syntax for hotplug first. If that fails fallback to old KVM specific syntax
