Hi all,<br>
<br>
I finally executed KVM VM's with persistent disks in OpenNebula. <br>
<br>
I made the following changes in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf<br>
<br>
# The user ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance<br>
user = "oneadmin"<br>
<br>
# The group ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance<br>
group = "oneadmin"<br>
<br>
# Whether libvirt should dynamically change file ownership<br>
# to match the configured user/group above. Defaults to 1.<br>
# Set to 0 to disable file ownership changes.<br>
dynamic_ownership = 1<br>
<br>
Oneadmin and libvirt-qemu user and group membership are as follows
in KVM worker node:<br>
<br>
~# groups oneadmin<br>
oneadmin : oneadmin kvm libvirt<br>
~# groups libvirt-qemu<br>
libvirt-qemu : kvm oneadmin<br>
<br>
I changed KVM /dev/kvm group from kvm to oneadmin:<br>
<br>
~# chgrp oneadmin /dev/kvm<br>
~# ls -la /dev/kvm<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root oneadmin 10, 232 sep 16 20:35 /dev/kvm<br>
<br>
I will need to change group permissions of /dev/kvm to oneadmin in
rc.local because reloading qemu-kvm resets /dev/kvm to kvm group. Do
you know any other way to set up group of /dev/kvm?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much everybody for your help and support!<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Alberto Picón<br>

<br>
We have tested root read and write access to NFS mount in
KVM worker node and it works correctly. As you stated, when
we create a persistent image, Opennebula creates a link to
the registered image in /var/lib/{VID}/image. We are using
FreeNAS 8.0 Final Release for shared storage and it
implements NFSv3.<br>
<br>
When a new instance is deployed using a persistent image,
the image changes a quarter of a second to libvirt-bin:kvm
file permissions, instance fails to boot with "permission
denied" error and persistent image in repository changes its
file permissions to root user and root group.<br>
<br>
When we use a non persistent image, KVM instance boots
correctly cloning the registered image to
/var/lib/{VID}/image/disk.0, and it has libvirt-bin:kvm file
permissions during RUNNING state.<br>
<br>
Please, any clue regarding this issue would be really
appreciated.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Alberto Picón<br>

We have some a problems using persistent KVM images
in Opennebula 3.0 RC1.<br>
<br>
Our configuration is as follows:<br>
<br>
Opennebula Front-End Ubuntu LTS 10.04<br>
KVM worker node Debian Queeze 6.0.2<br>
NAS for NFS Shared storage<br>

Please, can you give us any clue regarding this
issue?. Persistent mode<br>
for KVM VMs is essential for us...<br>

Is root allowed to read/write in the NFS mounted
images folder? Check the options in /etc/exports on
the NFS server.<br>
Eventually you also need to force the client (cluster
node) to mount it using NFSv3 (instead of NFSv4).<br>
<br>
With persistent images, the images stays in the images
folder and is only linked from the
<vm_id>/images/ folder. KVM does run with root
privileges.<br>
<br>
