Right, but isn't checking for QEMU capabilities at validate time unreasonably strict? A guest which uses eg. an invalid combination of machine type and architecture will never become valid at a later point, but a guest should not be considered invalid just because the QEMU binary you happened to have installed at the time you defined it lacked some features - the guest itself is perfectly valid, it just can't be run :) -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
