libvirtError: operation failed: failed to retrieve chardev info in qemu with 'info charde, v'
|

Hello,
whenever I try to run an instance it is being scheduled and directly
afterwards it goes into state "shutdown". The
/var/log/nova/nova-compute.log file shows the following error:
/2011-07-21 14:31:59,846 DEBUG nova.utils [-] Running cmd

I have found the following at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/702741/comments/4:
/Seems like a permissions issue. I would suspect:
a) console.log isn't readable due to being a subdirectory that nova
doesn't have permissions for (i.e. /root/...)
or
b) there is a permissions issue with the new configuration of nova
web console trying to connect to a device
(you could test this by removing the offending line from the
libvirt.xml in the instance directory)
or
c) there is some other strange issue with regards to kvm permissions/
/You may get more info by going to the instance directory and trying
to run virsh create libvirt.xml. (if it runs properly as root then
also try it as the nova user)/
/Vish/
And if I check the instance directory:
/# ls -lah /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-0000000d/
total 37M
drwxr-xr-x 2 nova nogroup 4.0K 2011-07-21 14:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 nova root 4.0K 2011-07-21 14:31 ..
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2011-07-21 14:32 console.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32M 2011-07-21 14:31 disk
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.1M 2011-07-21 14:31 disk.local
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.3M 2011-07-21 14:31 kernel
-rw-r--r-- 1 nova nogroup 1.8K 2011-07-21 14:31 libvirt.xml
/
I can see that console.log is not readable - at least not for the nova
user. All nova processes run under the user nova:
/s# ps aux | grep nova-
nova 889 0.0 0.0 35716 1256 ? Ss Jul20 0:00 su

--pidfile /var/run/nova/nova-objectstore.pid
--flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf --nodaemon
--logfile=/var/log/nova/nova-objectstore.log/
So what I don't get is why all the files within the instance folder are
owned by root. Is this the problem?
Regards
Max
