Description of problem: If I have QEMU/KVM guest started in libvirtd and then restart libvirtd, libvirtd no longer knows mapping between guests and tun devices on host and quering virDomainInterfaceStats do not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt version 0.7.1 (Fedora 12 rpm: libvirt-0.7.1-15.fc12.x86_64) also tested with Centos 5.4 and libvirt 0.6.3 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start QEMU/KVM guest with: virsh start vm01 2. restart libvirtd: /sbin/service libvrtd restart 3. Get statistics with virsh domifstat vm01 vnet0 Actual results: [root@kvm01 ~]# virsh domifstat vm01 vnet0 error: Failed to get interface stats vm01 vnet0 error: invalid argument in invalid path, 'vnet0' is not a known interface Expected results: [root@kvm01 ~]# virsh domifstat vm01 vnet0 vnet0 rx_bytes 83980 vnet0 rx_packets 1612 vnet0 rx_errs 0 vnet0 rx_drop 0 vnet0 tx_bytes 3546 vnet0 tx_packets 15 vnet0 tx_errs 0 vnet0 tx_drop 0 Additional info: I found out that after libvirtd forgets mapping for virtual interfaces. Here are the output from virsh dumpxml vm01 before restart: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:28:59:5c'/> <source network='default'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> and after restart of libvirtd: <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:28:59:5c'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface> the <target dev='vnet0'/> is missing.
