Thanks for throwing a different perspective on this - and I think I'm prone to agree with you (especially since with my idea I'd have to modify the xml anyways to keep the set persistent over libvirtd restart). And good timing, since I haven't yet started implementing my original alternative. Yeah, there's still some bike-shedding that could be done on what the xml looks like, and maybe my proposed APIs still make some sense for being able to explicitly modify that portion of the xml in a more convenient manner, but you've convinced me that representing it accurately in xml is an important first step. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
