This patch also removed the 'stripes' value which is supposed to be only valid on striped and mirror lv's, although it has been found valid for 'linear', 'thin-pool', and 'thin'. I'm back at square 1 with one adjustment: nextents = 1; if (STREQ(groups[4], VIR_STORAGE_VOL_LOGICAL_SEGTYPE_STRIPED) || STREQ(groups[4], VIR_STORAGE_VOL_LOGICAL_SEGTYPE_MIRROR)) { if (virStrToLong_i(groups[5], NULL, 10, &nextents) < 0) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s", _("malformed volume extent stripes value")); goto cleanup; } } where patch 6 adds in the following a the top to avoid the setting of any extents data or search through the now possibly empty devices: /* If the groups field is NULL, then there's nothing to do */ if (!groups[3]) return 0; >>>>>> - >>>>>> - vol->source.extents[vol->source.nextent].start = offset * size; >>>>>> - vol->source.extents[vol->source.nextent].end = (offset * size) + length; >>>>>> - vol->source.nextent++; >>>>>> + vol->source.extents[i].start = offset * size; >>>>>> + vol->source.extents[i].end = (offset * size) + length; >>>>> >>>>> [1] ... there you would call VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT(). >>>>> >>>> >>>> I don't find the whole VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT option as clean...

Like I noted already it's 50/50 in the code REALLOC vs. APPEND.
