Hi Wei,
Sorry for the delay. Catching up on mail after some days off...
I discovered that libvirt's native config file to xml converter
for
libxl only pick up the first occurrence of an option.
For example in a xl cfg file:
extra = "abc"
...
extra = "def"
xl will pick up "def" because that shows up later and takes precedence,
while the converter picks up "abc".
I think this is a bug in the converter and should be fixed.
Thanks for the report. I took a quick peek at libvirt's generic config parser
and afaict it only searches for the first occurrence of a setting. The parser
does support flags though, so we could add something like
VIR_CONF_FLAG_{FIRST,LAST}_DUPLICATE. (Better name suggestions welcomed.)
I've opened a bug report against openSUSE Factory to track this
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1065118

Thanks
Wei.
