Can't do that. The logDir member is declared like this:
qemud/qemud.h: char logDir[PATH_MAX];
which made me see why it was using PATH_MAX.
and we always want to check for buffer overrun.
so here's what I'll do:
diff --git a/qemud/qemud.c b/qemud/qemud.c
index f8c3c97..d9d7ce3 100644
--- a/qemud/qemud.c
+++ b/qemud/qemud.c
@@ -766,8 +766,10 @@ static int qemudInitPaths(struct qemud_server *server,
goto snprintf_error;
}
- if (snprintf(server->logDir, PATH_MAX, "%s/.libvirt/log",
- dir_prefix) >= PATH_MAX)
+ if (snprintf(server->logDir, sizeof (server->logDir),
+ (uid == SYSTEM_UID ? "%s/log/libvirt" : "%s/.libvirt/log"),

goto snprintf_error;
ret = 0;
