This appears to be a devices cgroup problem. Are you using libcgroup? If so can you give is the contents of /etc/cgconfig.conf?
Can you look through /var/log/libvirt/qemu/ for any meaningful error messages? Also please give us the output of cat /proc/mounts cat /proc/cgroups and just for a baseline cat /proc/self/cgroup for p in `pidof qemu`; do cat /proc/$p/cgroup done for p in `pidof kvm`; do cat /proc/$p/cgroup done Finally, /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf will control how it tries to use cgroups, so please paste the contents of that file. As a workaround, you should be able to try putting: cgroup_controllers = [ ] in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, to keep libvirt from using cgroups at all. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- problem with operations on qemu/kvm guest https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
