For consistency, I would argue that we don't have any other commands that modify direct xml input, and so we shouldn't be starting that now. I agree that a snapshot-create-as that takes options (and builds xml under the hood) would match with existing virsh paradigms better than making the existing snapshot-create command modify input xml on the fly. In other words, I'm afraid that your concern was unfortunately valid, and that we should NACK this patch in favor of one that adds a new command instead. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
