Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v4 2/4] storage: report error rather than warning if backing files doesn't exist

If one of backing files for disk source doesn't exist, the guest will not be able to find and use the disk even though the disk still exists in guest xml definition. So reporting an error make more sense. Adding virFileAccessibleAs() to check if the backing file described in disk meta exist in real path. If not, report error. the uid and gid arguments don't have so much meannings for F_OK, so give 0 for them. --- src/util/virstoragefile.c | 23 +++++++++++++++-------- tests/virstoragetest.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/virstoragefile.c b/src/util/virstoragefile.c index 27aa4fe..cb61e5b 100644 --- a/src/util/virstoragefile.c +++ b/src/util/virstoragefile.c
