[Libguestfs] libguest-test-tool error report

[Mark Husted (hustedm)]

Hey Rich,

I added some more libvirt packages that seemed to be missing.  Added the /dev/kvm node back...  and still no luck.  I have attached the latest errors from running  virt-resize.  I did notice that a call to 'qemu-kvm' is unhappy about the qcow2 format?  It looks like it can only do version 3?  I am not sure that makes sense.

Also, my RHEL Desktop was recently upgraded from the 6.3 channel to the 6.5 channel.  Again, not sure if this matters.

Thanks,
Mark

There's not really a "KVM service" as such.  It is a part of the kernel is only used when you start a KVM guest.

In any case as it looks like you have VirtualBox running, my advice would be to delete the /dev/kvm file, and try running libguestfs-test-tool and/or virt-resize again.

  sudo rm /dev/kvm

Rich.
