Natty (and it was also the same on Maverick, IIRC).
When you assign an ISO to a VM, libvirt will take over onwership of the ISO. This creates problems if the ISO is updated.
For example, I am daily updating the Natty server ISOs, and running tests on them via KVM (all automated). The ISO updates will fail because libvirt chowns them.
I see no reason for this: libvirt only needs the ISO as input. |

I see no reason for this: libvirt only needs the ISO as input.
WORKAROUND:
edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, change 'dynamic_ownership = 0', restart qemu/KVM. |
[Impact]
* A rather old bug which could have been solved much sooner. Attr support
was disabled way back in time for triggering some test issues. Since
then the test issues and also many more rough edges of ATTR support have
been fixed.
* This change shall enable attr support again which allows libvirt to
remember and carry ownership information on image files as extended
attributes.
[Test Case]
* Prepare a guest that you can start/stop e.g. with uvtool-libvirt
* Own the image by anything other than root:root
* Start the guest (ownership will change to the user the guest runs as)
* Stop the guest:
- fail: will set root:root to the images effectively stealing them
- correct: remembers the old ownership and restores that
[Regression Potential]
* This mostly influences DAC control of files, which is exactly what we
want to fix. There are a few lifecycle tasks which now also have to
carry labels e.g. on any image handling. I don't expect regressions, but
this is the place to look out for.
* The behavior on File systems unable to XATTR matches that of the
formerly disable feature, so on those cases where it has no positive
change it will have no change at all.
[Other Info]
* Technically we could backport this into all releases, but while I find
it right to fix in Focal OTOH Bionic and even more so Xenial really are
even "more stable" after their time in the field. Users either have
adapted already or even rely/expect the semi-broken behavior. Therefore
this is only targetting Focal intentionally.
* (very) worst case one can set the FS the images are on to "nouser_xattr"
as mount option.
