RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Stefan Assmann 2010-05-07 09:08:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Tried to add a new storage volume in virt-manager. Clicked on "New Volume" filled the fields but when I click on "finish" nothing gets created.
Started virt-manager with --debug and captured the following log:
2010-05-07 10:59:06,342 (connection:212): Using libvirt API for netdev enumeration

  </target>
</volume>

2010-05-07 10:59:53,374 (Storage:1193): Couldn't lookup storage volume in prog thread.

Looks like this is qcow2 related, as it works when I select RAW!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.8.4-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always
  
Actual results:
cannot add new storage volume

Expected results:
able to add new storage volume

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-07 10:16:27 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 3 Cole Robinson 2010-05-11 18:22:57 UTC
Are you missing a portion of the error output? I don't see anything here about not being able to create the storage volume. There is the message:

2010-05-07 10:59:53,374 (Storage:1193): Couldn't lookup storage volume in prog
thread.

But that is harmless in this case and shouldn't have interrupted anything. Can you be more specific?

Comment 4 Stefan Assmann 2010-05-12 11:05:40 UTC
I turned selinux to "permissive" and after that I got the following message:
2010-05-12 12:55:35,837 (createvol:244): Starting backround vol creation.

  </target>
</volume>

Additional note: I've added a second storage pool in virt-manager and the problem only occurs if I try to add a qcow2 image there. Works in the primary storage pool.

Adding a qcow2 image to the primary storage pool looks like this:

Comment 5 Cole Robinson 2010-05-13 16:01:53 UTC
Okay, I'm still confused. Can you provide the following info:

- How many pools do you have?
- The XML output of all the pools (using virsh pool-dumxpml $poolname)
- Can you consistently reproduce?
- Is the error only harmless backtraces in the logs, or is an actual error dialog popping up?
- Does selinux permissive vs. enforcing change the results at all?

If you can consistently reproduce, please provide the full --debug output from a run, and the exact steps you take to reproduce, as well as the above info.

Comment 6 Daniel Berrangé 2010-05-13 16:05:49 UTC
If SELinux is running in enforcing mode, then it could be a dup of bug 590713. libvirt uses qemu-img to create the qcow2 file and qemu-img had wrong security labelling preventing it working.

Comment 7 Cole Robinson 2010-05-13 18:12:25 UTC
Sounds like that might be the issue, closing as a dup, Stefan please reopen if this issue seems separate.
