Hello. We notice a very upsetting behavior of how libvirtd deals with running domains after being restarted. Namely, in 10-20s after start libvirtd may accidentally kill a random number of running (qemu) domains with SIGTERM. Here is what we get in libvirt log: 2013-02-27 12:35:10.415+0000: 45777: info : libvirt version: 1.0.2 2013-02-27 12:35:10.415+0000: 45777: error : virNWFilterSnoopLeaseFileRefresh:1903 : open("/var/run/libvirt/network/nwfilter.ltmp"): No such file or directory 2013-02-27 12:35:21.772+0000: 45766: error : qemuMonitorIO:602 : internal error End of file from monitor 2013-02-27 12:35:21.772+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet34" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:21.905+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet34: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:22.029+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet35" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:22.032+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet35: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:22.430+0000: 45766: error : qemuMonitorIO:602 : internal error End of file from monitor 2013-02-27 12:35:22.430+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet4" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:22.433+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet4: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:22.554+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet5" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:22.557+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet5: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:22.794+0000: 45766: error : qemuMonitorIO:602 : internal error End of file from monitor 2013-02-27 12:35:22.794+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet10" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:22.797+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet10: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:22.944+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet11" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:22.947+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet11: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:23.194+0000: 45766: error : qemuMonitorIO:602 : internal error End of file from monitor 2013-02-27 12:35:23.194+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet14" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:23.197+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet14: No such device 2013-02-27 12:35:23.361+0000: 45766: error : virNWFilterDHCPSnoopEnd:2131 : internal error ifname "vnet15" not in key map 2013-02-27 12:35:23.364+0000: 45766: error : virNetDevGetIndex:653 : Unable to get index for interface vnet15: No such device And this is what we get by grepping 45766 in separate logs of vms: drafter@10-5-0-11:/var/log/libvirt/qemu$ sudo grep -A 1 45766 * vm010-001-206-002.log:qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 45766 vm010-001-206-002.log-2013-02-27 12:35:22.430+0000: shutting down -- vm010-001-207-002.log:qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 45766 vm010-001-207-002.log-2013-02-27 12:35:22.794+0000: shutting down -- vm010-001-228-006.log:qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 45766 vm010-001-228-006.log-2013-02-27 12:35:23.194+0000: shutting down -- vm010-002-011-002.log:qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 45766 vm010-002-011-002.log-2013-02-27 12:35:21.772+0000: shutting down Specifically here libvirt killed 4 vms just after start. Before that occasion we just shut libvirtd off and started again (stop/start). Will be very grateful for any ideas on this matter. -- wbr, Igor Lukyanov -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
