workaround for virsh save corrupting images in F12 beta

so. I was having this problem where after I applied virsh save to some images, I wasn't able to restore it later. I found a workaround by editing /etc/qemu/qemu.conf and uncommenting the two lines user="root" and group="root". That seemed to fix my problem.

email back. concurrency is bug

I got an email back about the bug I submitted to teh libvirt people about the concurrency problem. Evidently, it's really a bug.

Anyway. winedt seems like a pain to configure. I can't seem to tell it where my latex binary is.

libvirtd hangs when accessed too frequently (race conditions?)

It seems that there are some concurrency problems with libvirt. I had the following script:

#!/usr/bin/python

import os, time





for i in xrange(1000):

print i

os.system('virsh restore /aml/images/pr51.img')

print "a"



os.system('virsh save pr51 /aml/images/pr51.img')

However, this script would hang libvirtd, the libvirt daemon, after awhile.

I ended up having to put sleep(3) after both os.system calls in order to make it work. I guess that the libvirt people haven't fixed this concurrency problem yet.
