When the qemu or libxl driver is configured to use lockd and file_lockspace_dir is set, virtlockd emits an error when libvirtd is retarted May 25 15:44:31 virt81 virtlockd[7723]: Requested operation is not valid: Lockspace for path /data/libvirtd/lockspace already exists There is really no need to fail when the lockspace already exists, paricularly since the user is expected to create the lockspace specified in file_lockspace_dir. Failure to do so will prevent starting any domains virsh start test error: Failed to start domain 'test' error: Unable to open/create resource /data/libvirtd/lockspace/de22c4bf931e7c48b49e8ca64b477d44e78a51543e534df488b05ccd08ec5caa: No such file or directory Also, virLockManagerLockDaemonSetupLockspace already has logic to ignore the error. Since callers are not interested in the error, change virtlockd to not report or return an error when the specified lockspace already exists.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
