qemu 2.0 added the ability to commit the active layer, but slightly differently than what libvirt had been anticipating in its implementation of the virDomainBlockCommit call. As a result, if you attempt to do a 'virsh blockcommit $dom vda', qemu gets into a state where it is waiting on libvirt to end the job, while libvirt is waiting on qemu to end the job, and the guest is effectively hung with regards to further commands for that block device. I have patches coming down the pipeline that will add full support for blockcommit of the active layer when coupled with qemu 2.0 or later; but they depend on Peter's improvements to block job handling and form enough of a new feature that they are not ready for inclusion in the 1.2.5 release. So for now, just reject the attempt, rather than letting the user get stuck. This is no worse than the behavior of qemu 1.7 rejecting the job. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Reject active commit. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
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.
