Re: [libvirt] Test results (was: Re: Valid characters in domain names?)
There are also some obvious ones I missed before:
*** <name>-</name> ***
virsh define - OK
virsh list - OK
virsh start - OK
virt-viewer - OK
virt-df - OK
virsh destroy - OK
virt-list-filesystems - OK
Note to start it you need:
sudo virsh -- start -
For virt-df you need:
sudo virt-df -- -
and similarly for other virt tools.
The qemu command line is:
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M fedora-13 -enable-kvm -m 256 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1
-name - -uuid [...]
which I was a bit surprised by. I guess qemu's command line parsing
is quite ad hoc.
*** <name> </name> ***
error: Failed to define domain from /tmp/chars.xml
error: at line 2: Entity 'nbsp' not defined
*** <name> </name> ***
Note that U+00A0 is Unicode non-breaking space.
virsh define - OK(!)
virsh list - OK(!)
virsh start - OK(!)
virt-viewer - OK(!)
virt-df - OK(!)
virsh destroy - OK(!)
virt-list-filesystems - OK(!)
This is very surprising, but it all does work.
$ sudo virsh destroy ' '
Domain destroyed
$ sudo virt-df ' '
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use%
:/dev/sda1 31725 396 29691 2%
Let's go a step further down this whitespace road:
*** <name> </name> ***
virsh define - OK(!)
virsh list - OK(!)
virsh start - FAILED
virt-viewer - n/a
virt-df - OK(!)
virsh destroy - n/a
virt-list-filesystems - OK(!)
$ sudo virsh start ' '
error: command 'start' requires <domain> option
$ sudo virt-df ' '
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use%
:/dev/sda1 31725 396 29691 2%
*** <name></name> ***
virsh define - OK
virsh list - OK
virsh start - OK
virt-viewer - OK
virt-df - OK
virsh destroy - OK
virt-list-filesystems - OK
This one is tricky to test. You can't type or copy this character.
However if you create a file containing this character then you can
do:
$ sudo virsh start $(cat /tmp/del)
Domain started
etc and I was able to verify that all the commands above work fine.
I haven't filed any more bugs for these ones.
