Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] doc: Correct the default werror policy

The documentation is plain wrong about the default write_error policy, as its only implemented by QEMU (src/vz/vz_utils.c is the only other case, which simply explodes, is anything except other then VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_ERROR_POLICY_DEFAULT is used). And QEMUs default is VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_ERROR_POLICY_ENOSPACE.
