I mean, what are the options/conditions which can change this "hypervisor dependent default option which may change at will"? A compilation option? A qemu option? A libvirt option? The current documentation is a bit cryptic for the user unless we document _how_ is defined the "suitable shutdown method". Exposing what is the current enabled method (if possible) could be interesting, too. -- Nicolas Sebrecht -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
