We're completely stuck helpless with our CentOS system which we've been using as a VM server.
After an unanticipated system upgrade, we can't get virsh or virt-manager to connect to libvirt anymore. It gets completely stuck during startup, trying to connect.
One of the suspicious things we've seen is the following:
[root@ana libvirt]# netstat | grep /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTING 0 /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
....
I'm not adding more information here because there is so much we've tried that I wouldn't know where to start. I would be happy to provide any info that would be useful to solve this issue.
Any hint or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Julian
