[PATCH 17/8] save: support direct autostart in qemu.conf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When auto-starting a domain on libvirtd startup, let the user
configure whether to have the VIR_DOMAIN_START_DIRECT flag effect.

* src/qemu/qemu.conf (auto_start_direct): Document new variable.
* src/qemu/libvirtd_qemu.aug (vnc_entry): Let augeas parse it.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h (qemud_driver): Store new preference.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c (qemudLoadDriverConfig): Parse it.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuAutostartDomain): Honor it.

Might be worth combining with 9/8.
