[PATCH 3/3] qemu: Use the end of QEMU log for reporting errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When QEMU dies, we read its output stored in a log file and use it for
reporting a hopefully useful error. However, virReportError will trim
the message to (VIR_ERROR_MAX_LENGTH - 1) characters, which means the
end of the log (which likely contains the error message we want to
report) may get lost. We should trim the beginning of the log instead.
