[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#569705: libvirt0: Cannot mount ISO images anymore, qemu fails to start

[Adrian Glaubitz]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 0.7.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

with the current versions of libvirt in testing (0.7.5) and unstable (0.7.6), it's not
possible anymore to start a domain with a mounted iso image. When selecting an image
to be mounted in virt-manager, then trying to start, qemu aborts with the following
backtrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 589, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1208, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 300, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open disk image /raid/incoming/Fedora-12-i686-Live.iso

The bug is also discussed at RedHat Bugzilla:
