[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#676328: libvirt-bin: Migration with network disk failed (Invalid relative path)

[Bastian Scholz]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12~rc2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use libvirt with kvm and sheepdog for block devices. Since an update from
0.9.6-2 to 0.9.11.3-1 (and now for testing 0.9.12~rc2) I cant migrate my
virtual machines between different hosts.
With the older Version it works flawlessly.

# virsh migrate --live virt-name qemu+ssh://server-name/system
error: Invalid relative path 'virt-name': Invalid argument

Excerpt from config
    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source protocol='sheepdog' name='virt-name'>
        <host name='localhost' port='7000'/>
      </source>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>

(My virtuall machines and sheepdog vdi names are identic)

I found a short description of the same problem an the mailing list,
but I didnt find a solution...
