Is that intentional, or should we make the overall API fail if we can't create the transient counterpart? And depending on the answer to that question, should we be attempting the virDomainObjSetDefTransient sooner, so as to guarantee that we have the transient counterpart prior to making any attempt to change the running domain, so that we don't have to worry about rolling back changes as part of returning failure? -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
