Hi, >From the ones we managed to configure in our lab here. I noticed that using image format "raw" instead of "qcow2" worked for us. Regards, Luke -----Original Message----- From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steven Timm Sent: Thursday, 18 September, 2014 5:01 AM To: ceph-users at lists.ceph.com Subject: ceph issue: rbd vs. qemu-kvm I am trying to use Ceph as a data store with OpenNebula 4.6 and have followed the instructions in OpenNebula's documentation at http://docs.opennebula.org/4.8/administration/storage/ceph_ds.html and compared them against the "using libvirt with ceph" http://ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/libvirt/ We are using the ceph-recompiled qemu-kvm and qemu-img as found at http://ceph.com/packages/qemu-kvm/ under Scientific Linux 6.5 which is a Redhat clone. Also a kernel-lt-3.10 kernel.

At first we were getting "permission denied" but then I upped the permissions allowed to the libvirt user (client.libvirt2) and then we are just getting "invalid argument" client.libvirt2 key: AQAV5BlU2OV7NBAApurqxG0K8UkZlQVy6hKmkA== caps: [mon] allow r caps: [osd] allow *, allow rwx pool=one ------ Any idea why kvm doesn't like the argument I am delivering in the file= argument? Better--does anyone have a working kvm command out of either opennebula or openstack against which I can compare?
