Public bug reported: It would appear that libvirt does not support cloning a VM that is using an LVM backend.
Selecting "Clone" presents the user with a dialog prompting for a new name and options for networking and the storage details. However, below the LVM based storage entry is a statement: "Could not determine original disk information: Disk '/dev/group/volume' does not exist." Where /dev/group/volume is the full path to the LVM volume being used by the VM. The referenced device does indeed exist, as it is successfully being used by the VM being cloned. Searching on this seems to indicate that there were patches provided back in July of '09: http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-l...@redhat.com/msg14557.html It would appear that most of the patches were accepted: http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-l...@redhat.com/msg14709.html Looks like the version in Lucid (0.7.5) was released several months after those patches were committed (based on the above referenced messages and the upstream release archive).
