Hi all, I've just updated my Qemu-KVM packages for Ubuntu 10.04, the packages might work under Debian, but I haven't tested it, so be careful! I backported the qemu-kvm-0.13.0 package from Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) to 10.04 (lucid) and included RBD support (From the Qemu GIT). On my test machines this works fine, I've got a few VM's running without any problems. You can download the package from: deb http://pcx.apt-get.eu/ubuntu lucid-backport unofficial If you need the public key: wget -O - http://www.apt-get.eu/pcextreme_archive_key.asc|apt-key add - For those interested in my patch, it's available on http://zooi.widodh.nl/ceph/qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm-0.13.0 +noroms/rbd-support.patch This Qemu-KVM version should make it a bit easier to start testing RBD with Qemu, saves you the trouble of building Qemu yourself. I also have a backported libvirt version in the same repository, this has support for a Virtual Disk, for example: <disk type='virtual' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='rbd'/> <source path='rbd:rbd/alpha'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> This is NOT the new format which has been accepted into Qemu ( http://ceph.newdream.net/2010/12/rbd-upstream-updates/ ), but it works for testing purposes.
