ceph autostarted pools are not autostarted on ubuntu 24.04

[trya uuum]

I've tested a bit libvirt on ubuntu 24.04

In systemd unit for libivirt there is a line

Environment=LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--timeout 120"

which makes libvirtd shut down if no active requests exist for 2 minutes.

In libvirt there's a concept of storage pools. They can be set to start automatically on daemon start. It's visible in "virsh pool-list" output

$ virsh pool-list
Name State Autostart
-------------------------------------------
default active yes

When libvirt shuts down automatically and then is started afterwards, ceph-backed pools are not started automatically. This is not a huge problem -- we would just need to add "pool start" commands to our application in every place where images from the pool are used. But it breaks the existing workflow.

Overall, this bug doesn't really affect me, because I don't use ubuntu 24.04 in production. I simply wanted to give some feedback.

Thank you all for your time and work on packaging libvirt and qemu for ubuntu!

Yes, I think this can be just closed. If I understand correctly autoshutdown behavior is even less frequent than I thought -- if there's at least one running domain then libvirtd shouldn't shut down
