It's not just /etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml. It's also /var/log/libvirt/qemu/*.log. And while we don't mind telling people to leave /etc alone, we actively encourage people to use /var/log, and anything we can do to make the logs more usable (names instead of uuids) is worth it. I'm in full agreement with this patch, but think it doesn't go far enough; we probably also want to forbid domain names with a leading '.'. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
