As Dave pointed out, someone creative might name a domain
to make its logfile conflict with a logfile of another
domain's virtiofsd log.

Having a logfile that doesn't end in  ".log" is pretty gross IMHO

Agreed.

and will mean it isn't caught by logrotate matching *.log

I did not realize that.


Can't we deal with the clash in another way that preserves .log  as a
suffix

Not in the same directory, but I can create a separate directory,
something like:
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/vhost-user/%{name}-fs-%{alias}.log
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/devices/%{name}-fs-%{alias}.log
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/fs/%{name}-%{alias}.log

Or we can just pretend this is fine O:-)
