Re: [libvirt] where is "virsh pool-stop"?

Hi folks,
Suggestion:
"virsh pool-destroy" sounds highly destructive. There is a
"pool-start" command, so how about "pool-stop"? Similar
commands could be introduced for the other *-start commands.
For pools especially destroy has a bad sound to it.
This would make using virsh _much_ easier.
In Unix world "start" and "stop" belong together, "start"
and "destroy" don't.
Generally, I agree, start implies stop, but there is also the case of
start-shutdown-destroy. I believe the reason for the command names is
that one does a 'start' on a VM, but then either does a graceful
'shutdown' or a un-graceful 'destroy'. There is no single 'stop'
in
that case.
None of that takes away from your original point, however, that
pool-destroy is not the destructive operation that it sounds like, and
I have also done virsh foo-stop many times without thinking about it.
I wouldn't object to aliasing pool-stop to pool-destroy, but I'm
curious to know what others on the list think.
