I would like to associate this discussion with a bug I've submitted to Ubuntu's Launchpad... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/672948 Inconsistent XML config checks for domains with space in the name 1) http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMetadata states: "This name should consist only of alpha-numeric characters". 2) /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng: <element name="name"> <ref name="domainName"/> </element> <define name="domainName"> <data type="string"> <param name="pattern">[A-Za-z0-9_\.\+\-&:/]+</param> </data> </define> 3) Virsh accepts <name> with spaces, but then during a vm start some misguiding output is generated. It says aa_change_profile() fails. Virsh doesn't check the config with the schema as well. libvirt-bin 0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7 -- Marcin Szewczyk http://wodny.org mailto:Marcin.Szewczyk@xxxxxxxxxx <- remove b / usuÅ b xmpp:wodny@xxxxxxxxx xmpp:wodny@xxxxxxxxxx -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
