[libvirt] virStoragePoolDefParseString() fails with the following pool xml

Hi, I have the following Pool XML <pool type='netfs'> <name>NFS ISO library</name> <uuid>6142b786-378d-9def-bc96-2d0dc0466c13</uuid> <capacity>838729728</capacity> <allocation>838729728</allocation> <available>148315040</available> <source> <host name='telos'/> <dir path='/images/autoinstall'/> <format type='auto'/> </source> <target> <permissions> <mode>00</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>0</group> </permissions> </target> </pool> I'm passing this string to virStoragePoolDefParseString() to get a virStoragePoolDefPtr But it returns NULL. Can anyone explain if there's something wrong with the XML format? I ran gdb and I kind of figured out that it fails at if (virStoragePoolDefParseSource(ctxt, &ret->source, ret->type, source_node) < 0) in virStoragePoolDefParseXML() in ~/src/conf/storage_conf.c The reason I need this is to dump Volume XML which takes the poolDefPtr as well as VolDefPtr To return the XML format(virStorageVolDefFormat()). Is there a simpler way of producing the Volume XML just using the VolDefPtr? Regards, Sharadha
