Description János Tamási 2012-11-24 05:20:27 EST

Description of problem:
After upgrading libvirt from 0.9.10 to 1.0.0 vol-clone is not working anymore with LVM volumes. Downgrading libvirt to the latest 0.9 series (0.9.13) works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt 1.0.0
qemu 1.2

How reproducible:
clone an existing LVM volume: vol-clone --pool storage vs1 vs12

Actual results:
virsh # vol-clone --pool storage vs1 vs12
error: Failed to clone vol from vs1
error: belső hiba: Child process (/usr/bin/qemu-img convert -f raw -O none /dev/storage/vs1 /dev/storage/vs12) unexpected exit status 1: 2012-11-24 10:10:25.786+0000: 20306: debug : virFileClose:72 : Closed fd 27

Comment 5 zhe peng 2012-11-30 01:06:48 EST

I can reproduce this with build:
libvirt-0.10.2-9.el6.x86_64

verify with:
libvirt-0.10.2-10.el6.x86_64

step:
  1: create a lvm pool
 # virsh pool-dumpxml lvm
<pool type='logical'>
  <name>lvm</name>
  <uuid>a2dc4aad-ff27-41d5-f598-612dbfe91620</uuid>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>20967325696</capacity>
  <allocation unit='bytes'>11811160064</allocation>
  <available unit='bytes'>9156165632</available>
  <source>
    <device path='/dev/sda2'/>
    <name>vg_virt</name>
    <format type='lvm2'/>
  </source>
  <target>
    <path>/dev/vg_virt</path>
    <permissions>
      <mode>0755</mode>
      <owner>-1</owner>
      <group>-1</group>
    </permissions>
  </target>
</pool>
  2: clone lvm vol
  # virsh vol-clone --pool lvm vgtest1 vgtest3
Vol vgtest3 cloned from vgtest1
  
  # virsh vol-list lvm
Name                 Path                                    
-----------------------------------------             
vgtest1              /dev/vg_virt/vgtest1                    
vgtest2              /dev/vg_virt/vgtest2                    
vgtest3              /dev/vg_virt/vgtest3 
 
  vgtest3 created w/o error, verification passed.
