Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv2] storage: Fix logical pool fmt type

documentation now refers to pool format type 'unknown' instead of 'auto'.
could be modified depending on how you handle my comment below.

Perhaps in order to avoid someone "in the future" getting us back into
this mess - can we add a comment after the </value>:
"<!-- back-compat requires keeping 'unknown' not 'auto'

There's a few other examples of back-compat comments...

The logical volume pool supports the following formats:
</p>
<ul>
- <li><code>auto</code> - automatically determine
format</li>
+ <li><code>unknown</code> - automatically determine
format</li>
I think if you follow what 'virStoragePoolFormatDisk' does (or Disk
volume pools on the webpage) and just don't list 'unknown' that'd
probably be better. Unless someone else thinks it should be listed.
Yes, a list of 1 element looks strange. If that's not desired some text
indicating that logical pools only support the 'lvm2' type and if format
is not provided, then libvirt will determine the type.
<li>
<code>lvm2</code>
</li>
ACK
Let's see if anyone else has feelings one way or another - I can modify
based on my review and push so you don't have to send a v3. Just want
to give others a chance first...
