/domain/devices/disk/driver/@name is not a required or mandatory attribute according to formatdomain, and indeed it was agreed on IRC that the attribute is "optional for input, recommended (but not required) for output". Currently the schema requires the attribute, causing virt-xml-validate to fail on disk config where the driver name is not explicitly specified. E.g. # cat test.xml | grep -A 5 cdrom <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver type='raw'/> <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> # virt-xml-validate test.xml Relax-NG validity error : Extra element devices in interleave test.xml:21: element devices: Relax-NG validity error : Element domain failed to validate content test.xml fails to validate Relaxing the name attribute to be optional fixes the validation # virt-xml-validate test.xml test.xml validates Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@xxxxxxxx> --- docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng b/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng index fc1a40f96..a49ce9303 100644 --- a/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng +++ b/docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng @@ -1804,9 +1804,11 @@ </element> </define> <define name="driverFormat"> - <attribute name="name"> - <ref name="genericName"/> - </attribute> + <optional> + <attribute name="name"> + <ref name="genericName"/> + </attribute> + </optional> <optional> <attribute name='type'> <choice> -- 2.13.1 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
