Well, only if libvirt actually starts naming the node at the destination of a drive-mirror job (doesn't happen now, but this patch shifts the blame from "qemu doesn't provide access to the information" over to "libvirt hasn't yet been coded to interact with what qemu provides"), so this is a step in the right direction. The idea makes sense to me. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
