[Bug 1242794] Re: Missing virtio-port symlinks

[Martin Pitt]

So a missing  "name" attribute would explain why the current rule
wouldn't create a symlink, but this should not  have worked with the
older udev either. I guess that's true and we just misunderstood each
other at first? So you confirm that if you provide a name, /dev/virtio-
ports/org.libguestfs.channel.0 actually does exist, but libguestfs
cannot access it somehow?

Title:
  Missing virtio-port symlinks

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Raring to Saucy, our libguestfs system stopped
  working. I then tried a fresh install of Saucy with the same results.
  I narrowed the issue down to the udev package. I was able to downgrade
  the udev package to the previous non-systemd (175-0ubuntu29) version
  and it works again with no other changes. This leads me to believe the
  issues isn't related to the updates of libguestfs, qemu, etc.

  1) Ubuntu 13.10

  2) systemd_204-0ubuntu18

  3) libguestfs-test-tool should succeed as it does on Ubuntu 13.04.

  4) libguestfs fails to communicate to the virtual machine due to
  missing /dev/virtio-ports (org.libguestfs.channel.0 in this case)
  symlink to /dev/vport1p1 (which is correctly created).
