Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com&gt; Currently we report a bogus error message when macvlan creation fails: error: Failed to start domain migtest error: operation failed: Unable to create macvlan device With this removed, we see the real error: error: Failed to start domain migtest error: Unable to get index for interface p31p1: No such device Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
