[Pkg-ganeti-devel] Bug#682333: KVM failing with ":" as a disk separator

[Iustin Pop]

Package: ganeti
Version: 2.5.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

This is a Debian bug corresponding to upstream issue 169: kvm can't
open disk images with ":" as a disk separator, which albeit
configurable is our default.

Fixing this bug via the simple method of changing the disk separator
means that running instances (e.g. Xen) will not be possible to
live-migrate after upgrading the package until they are restarted. As
such, we need to add caution notes/NEWS.Debian to detail this.

For more information, see
https://code.google.com/p/ganeti/issues/detail?id=169 and
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/ganeti/gBGhJFwMHQo.

As it is right now, KVM is unusable with Ganeti.
