The 'vcpucount' command is a getter command for the vCPUu count. When one or more of the filtering flags are specified the command returns the value only for the selected combination. In this case the --live and --config combination isn't valid. This however didn't cause errors as the combination of flags was rejected by the libvirt API but then the fallback code kicked in and requested the count in a way where the clash of the flags didn't matter.
I seem to recall specifically allowing '--live --config' as a way of requesting multiple values in one command call (similar to how vcpucount with no flags grabs every possible value). I need to think about this more, and double check historical behavior, to make sure we aren't adding a regression. Please hold off until after 1.1.4 for this one (and ping me if I haven't responded with more details in a week, since I'm currently busy on another patch). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
