This is not libvirtd's debug log unfortunately. You get that one by enabling debug level output in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and looking into syslog/the journal. But... > You'll find the corresponding domain XML file attached. ...although this uses a qemu in /usr/local/bin it still happens with the one in /usr/bin as well so I can reproduce this here so no further info required atm. I'll try to have a look soonish... Thanks, -- Guido
