Could not create domain with virt-install
This is what I try:
[root@lab1 ~]# kvm-install-vm create -c 2 -m 2048 -d 20 -v foo4
- Copying cloud image (CentOS-8-GenericCloud-8.1.1911-20200113.3.x86_64.qcow2) ... OK

--os-type=linux \

ERR: Could not create domain with virt-install.
Even with -v, not that much of information. Let's try it manually by copying the command from above:
[root@lab1 ~]# virt-install \
> --import \
> --name=foo4 \
> --memory=2048 \
> --vcpus=2 \
> --cpu=host \
> --disk=foo4.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio \

> --network=bridge=bridge99,model=virtio \
> --os-type=linux \
> --os-variant=centos8 \
> --noautoconsole \
> --graphics=spice,port=-1,listen=localhost
ERROR Fehler: --disk foo4.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio: Size must be specified for non existent volume 'foo4.qcow2'
Is it me, using it wrong or is it a bug?
You need to check in libvirtd logs, for systemd e.g.: journalctl -u libvirtd -n 1000 -f
. Maybe the bridge bridge99
tied to the physical NIC didn't exist yet, then it fails to setup the network.
Same issue here since I update to Fedora 34.
For me journalctl -u libvirtd -n 1000 -f
give the following:

I find these two upstream bugs report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1924218 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1952715#c4
Didn't find a workaround for now.
