Workarounds I can think of: - Augment the domain xml description so it also defines the storage pool on which the created domain should reside
This is a good idea which I've wanted for other reasons - the qemu driver also has instances where we are sticking large files in a hard-coded directory (such as 'virsh managedsave') but where people have complained that they would like to control what directory gets used for it. Adding an element to the <domain> xml that gives the name of the preferred virStoragePool for all operations requiring potentially large files associated with the domain is a change worth making.
The first way seems the cleanest but is probably also the most work and touches more code.
Maybe, but it is the right thing to do. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
