Description Richard W.M. Jones 2013-03-18 17:53:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

I'm experimenting with libvirt's nbd feature, using the
'unix' transport.  However it doesn't seem to work.

Comment 1 Michal Privoznik 2013-03-20 15:23:55 UTC 
Rich,

I think I found the root cause. The 1.0.3 release is missing sockets support for NBD transport. The patch that implements it is pushed upstream though:

commit be2a15dd60fc116f4c7bf2f8ca8e1974ff743d4d
Author:     Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini>
AuthorDate: Mon Feb 25 18:44:24 2013 +0100
Commit:     Eric Blake <eblake>
CommitDate: Fri Mar 15 15:27:56 2013 -0600

    qemu: support NBD with Unix sockets
    
    This reuses the XML format that was introduced for Gluster.

v1.0.3-86-gbe2a15d

So, either you wait for the next release or build your own package from the current git.
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-03-20 15:42:23 UTC 
Ah OK, I didn't check upstream, but in that case I'll set the
resolution.  Is Fedora 19 going to get an update?
