There were a few operations on the storage volume file that were still being done as root, which will fail if the file is on a root-squashed NFS share. The result was that attempts to create a storage volume of type "raw" on a root-squashed NFS share would fail. This patch uses the newly introduced "hook" function in virFileOperation to execute all those file operations in the child process that's run under the uid that owns the file (and, presumably, has permission to write to the NFS share) * src/storage/storage_backend.c: use virFileOperation() in virStorageBackendCreateRaw, turning virStorageBackendCreateRaw() into a new createRawFileOpHook() hook
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
