Filesystem virtiofs fails to start with "internal error: virtiofsd died unexpectedly"
Last modified: 2024-02-29 12:24:24 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0 Build Identifier: The latest updates broke the Filesystem sharing feature of KVM/QEMU. The reason seems to be the location of `virtiofsd`. The current location on my machine is `/usr/libexec/virtiofsd/virtiofsd` instead of `/usr/libexec/virtiofsd`. This causes AppArmor to deny permission to execute the file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a VM that uses the Filesystem feature with the `virtiofs` driver 2. Attempt to start the VM Actual Results: An error message: ``` Error starting domain: internal error: virtiofsd died unexpectedly Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 71, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 107, in tmpcb callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/libvirtobject.py", line 57, in newfn ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/object/domain.py", line 1425, in startup self._backend.create() File "/usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1379, in create raise libvirtError('virDomainCreate() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: virtiofsd died unexpectedly ``` Expected Results: The VM starts successfully. Excerpt from `/var/log/libvirt/qemu/{vm-name}-fs0-virtiofsd.log`: ``` libvirt: error : cannot execute binary /usr/libexec/virtiofsd/virtiofsd: Permission denied ``` Excerpt from `/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.virtqemud`: ``` /usr/{lib,lib64,lib/qemu,libexec}/virtiofsd PUx, ``` Workaround: Add the following line to `/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.virtqemud` ``` /usr/{lib,lib64,lib/qemu,libexec}/virtiofsd/virtiofsd PUx, ``` Permanent solution: The location of `virtiofsd` should be `/usr/libexec/virtiofsd`
