Hi John,

I tried to apply that, but failed miserably,
since all of the following was recently redone to
use virBufferVSprintf rather than snprintf.
Yea I suspected the code was likely seeing some
motion. Thanks for bringing it forward.
And it's
a good thing, because with the changes below, there was
potential buffer overrun: nc could end up larger than PATH_MAX.
You are correct. I mistook the return value of
snprintf() in the case of truncation.

One remaining bit that I haven't done:
add tests for this, exercising e.g.,
  - cachemode
  - !cachemode && (disk->shared && !disk->readonly)
  - !cachemode && (!disk->shared || disk->readonly)
That logic should be correct as it exists in the
patch, namely we'll generate a "cache=*" flag in
the case cachemode was specified explicitly in
the xml definition or for the preexisting case of
(shared && !readonly). Here if both happen to be
true the explicit xml cache tag takes precedence.

But with the existing code we need to remove the
clause of:

virBufferVSprintf(&opt, ",fmt=%s", disk->driverType);

As this results in generation of a "cache=*"
twice on the qemu cmdline, and possibly of
different dispositions.

With this change I think it is good to go.
The attached patch incorporates the above
modification.
