There is no selinux or apparmor enabled on this machine. > Should i file a bug report? I colleague of mine pointed me in the right direction. There was a cdrom defined in the virtual machine. After removing it the process runs as expected: + virsh blockcommit kaltura vda --active --verbose --pivot Block Commit: [100 %] Successfully pivoted This leads to the question how would i use blockcommit under those circumstances?
