Hi, I think I spotted a bug in the way libvirtd handles stderr output from QEMU VMs. When starting a VM and QEMU outputs too much output data to stderr (during a given time period), libvirtd will fail and report the following error to /var/log/messages: libvirtd: 13:44:40.695: error : internal error Out of space while reading console log output I looked at the libvirt code a bit and it seems like the stderr-handling code (I think its in qemudReadLogOutput()) is time-dependent and if a 4K buffer overflows it will stop running this VM. As a workaround I added some usleep(250000) near the fprintf() calls (inside QEMU) and I now manage to get the VM running. Is this the way libvirtd is supposed to behave? Thanks, Saul p.s. This was tested on FC11 and libvirtd is version 0.6.2 -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
