[libvirt-users] Pools are not persistent

[Daniel Bareiro]

Hi all!

I'm trying virt-manager on Debian Wheezy and I noticed that it has
already defined a "default" pool. But if I run:

# /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart

I lose the definition of the pools. Actually, there are the definitions
of the pools; but these are not read after restarting libvirt.

ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jun  1 09:36 autostart
-rw------- 1 root root  664 jun  1 13:46 default.xml


ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage/autostart# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 may 24 07:24 default.xml -> /etc/libvirt/storage/default.xml


After restart libvirt:

virsh # pool-list
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------


This is what I see in libvirtd.log:

2013-06-02 01:05:29.709+0000: 19289: info : libvirt version: 0.9.12

2013-06-02 01:05:33.025+0000: 19289: warning : umlCapsInit:87 : Failed to get host power management capabilities


could this be due to some type of error in the XML file that defines the
pool?

ss01:/etc/libvirt/storage# cat default.xml

<pool type='dir'>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid>3174232f-3d63-3167-aa25-3949671bf4c2</uuid>
  <capacity unit='bytes'>0</capacity>

      <owner>4294967295</owner>
      <group>4294967295</group>
    </permissions>
  </target>
</pool>


These are the versions of the packages I'm using:

libvirt-bin:  0.9.12-11 (Architecture: i386)
virt-manager: 0.9.1-4   (Architecture: all)




Thanks in advance for your reply.
