I just checked it out, and it looks like it can be safely encapsulated in this case. I was worried it would end up like xend but it seems we can entirely wrap the knowledge of this to be Linux-only. BTW I am a little concerned that we're re-implementing all this code when libxenstat can do it. I already wrote this code once :) apologies, john -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
