Hi,

On one of my systems I'm having troubles with my RBD storage backend.

At first I thought it was a problem with my code, but after trying
the same code on a second machine I'm a bit confused.

The problem is that the storage backend tries to retrieve the value
of a secret and base64 decode it, that fails.

My debug log shows:

Notice this behavior:

root@stack01:~# virsh secret-set-value
322bccea-f2ed-4eae-a7e5-d0793ffb162d
AQAE+uJPCFpELBAAkTniQvHabBGj0Quwnu2imA==

root@stack01:~# md5sum
/etc/libvirt/secrets/322bccea-f2ed-4eae-a7e5-d0793ffb162d.base64

root@stack01:~# md5sum
/etc/libvirt/secrets/322bccea-f2ed-4eae-a7e5-d0793ffb162d.base64

/etc/libvirt/secrets/322bccea-f2ed-4eae-a7e5-d0793ffb162d.base64
root@stack01:~#

As you can see, the md5sum of the file changes when I set the value
of the secret to the same.

That is really bizarre. Can you look at what is actually stored
in the .base64 file each time ? And what 'secret-get-value'
replies with ?


The content of the .base64 is pure garbage, my terminal can't make anything of it.

What I do notice is that the .base64 file is only 2 bytes big, while it should be 40 bytes.

"secret-get-value" returns the correct data, but I think that is due to it being in memory. That also tells me that the writing to disk fails, in memory it is still fine.

When I restart libvirt I see:

secretLoadValue:406 : internal error invalid base64 in '/etc/libvirt/secrets/322bccea-f2ed-4eae-a7e5-d0793ffb162d.base64'

I checked my disk-space and inodes again, but those are all fine. I can write other files on the same FS without any problem.

I also made sure that AppArmor (Ubuntu) was turned off.

I verified that stack01 isn't out of disk space or out of inodes,
those are in the acceptable values range.

Any suggestions?

I think you'll probably need to add some more  VIR_DEBUG lines
to secret_driver.c to see where in the process it is going
wrong. Or perhaps strace libvirtd to see what it thinks it
is writing out & whether any errors appear.


I'll try that.
