Just trying to understand this.
That's a long story, there is a bug in Libvirt, which is introduced
in
a newer version(>0.9.10), which can make the storage pool disappear.
Edison, that I understand, but what is the technical reason that
prevents
using newer KVM?
It looks like current KVM works fine on CentOS 6.5 for example which
has
libvirt 0.10.2.
Yes, at first glance, the newer version libvirt(> 0.9.10) just works
fine. But under stress test, it will complain NFS storage pool
missing, and can't add the storage pool back, unless you shut down all
the VMs which using the storage pool. That's the
bug(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977706) all about.
In ACS 4.2/4.3 release, we only recommend to use libvirt <=0.9.10, if
primary storage is NFS.
Ok, I'm trying to make some noise in that bz entry, hopefully someone
gets annoyed enough to do something about it.
Quick question: there is no problem if instead of using NFS directly we
use the "shared mount point" option, is it?
