Use the right cow image and apply the second layer to provide read-write
access. The correct setup is:
- base image + base cow -> read-only snapshot (base changes "cached"
until committed)
- read-only snapshot + VM cow -> read-write snapshot (changes discarded
after VM shutdown)
This way, even VM without Qubes-specific startup scripts will can
benefit from Template VMs, while VMs with Qubes-specific startup scripts
may still see original root.img content (for possible signature
verification, when storage domain got implemented).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
QubesDB daemon no longer remove socket created by new instance, so one
part of VM restart race condition is solved. The only remaining part is
to ensure that we really connect to the new instance, instead of talking
to the old one (soon to be terminated).

None of properties set there do any "dangerous thing" for filesystem
permissions (at least for now), so do not require it. This is mostly to
keep compatibility with %post rpm scripts (kernel-qubes-vm at least).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
This tool by design is called as root, so try to:
- switch to normal user if possible
- fix file permissions afterwards - if not
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
There was a comment '# Set later', but actually values were never set.
This break adding just installed template (qvm-template-postprocess).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
When system is installed with LVM thin pool, it should be used by
default. But lets keep file-based on for /var/lib/qubes for some corner
cases, migration etc.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
This is intended to call to finish template installation/removal.
Template RPM package is basically container for root.img, nothing more.
Other parts needs to be generated after root.img extraction. Previously
it was open coded in rpm post-install script, but lets keep it as qvm
tool to ease supporting multiple version in template builder
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
VM files may be already removed. Don't fail on this while removing a
VM, it's probably the reason why domain is being removed.
qvm-remove tool have its own guard for this, but it isn't enough - if
rmtree(dir_path) fails, storage.remove() would not be called, so
non-file storages would not be cleaned up.
This is also needed to correctly handle template reinstallation - where
VM directory is moved away to call create_on_disk again.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
'-' is invalid character in python identifier, so all the properties
have '_'. But in previous versions qvm-* tools accepted names with '-',
so lets not break this.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
/var/log/qubes directory have setgid set, so all the files will be owned
by qubes group (that's ok), but there is no enforcement of creating it
group writable, which undermine group ownership (logs created by root
would not be writable by normal user)
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
In case of LVM (at least), "internal" flag is initialized only when
listing volume attached to given VM, but not when listing them from the
pool. This looks like a limitation (bug?) of pool driver, it looks like
much nicer fix is to handle the flag in qvm-block tool (which list VMs
volumes anyway), than in LVM storage pool driver (which would need to
keep second copy of volumes list - just like file driver).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
There are mutiple cases when snapshots are inconsistently created, for
example:
- "-back" snapshot created from the "new" data, instead of old one
- "-snap" created even when volume.snap_on_start=False
- probably more
Fix this by following volume.snap_on_start and volume.save_on_stop
directly, instead of using abstraction of old volume types.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
Just calling pool.init_volume isn't enough - a lot of code depends on
additional data loaded into vm.storage object. Provide a convenient
wrapper for this.
At the same time, fix loading extra volumes from qubes.xml - don't fail
on volume not mentioned in initial vm.volume_config.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
- add missing lvm remove call when commiting changes
- delay creating volatile image until domain startup (it will be created
then anyway)
- reset cache only when really changed anything
- attach VM to the volume (snapshot) created for its runtime - to not
expose changes (for example in root volume) to child VMs until
shutdown
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
The wrapper doesn't do anything else than translating command
parameters, but it's load time is significant (because of python imports
mostly). Since we can't use python lvm API from non-root user anyway,
lets drop the wrapper and call `lvm` directly (or through sudo when
necessary).
This makes VM startup much faster - storage preparation is down from
over 10s to about 3s.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
...instead of manual copy in python. DD is much faster and when used
with `conv=sparse` it will correctly preserve sparse image.
