Hot-unplugging a disk from a guest that supports hot-unplugging generates an error in the libvirt log when running QEMU with the "-msg timestamp=on" flag. 2015-08-06 10:48:59.945+0000: 11662: error : qemuMonitorTextDriveDel:2594 : operation failed: deleting drive-virtio-disk4 drive failed: 2015-08-06T10:48:59.945058Z Device 'drive-virtio-disk4' not found This error is caused because the HMP results are getting prefixed with a timestamp. Parsing the output is not reliable with STRPREFIX as the results can be prefixed with a timestamp. Using strstr ensures that parsing the output works whether the results are prefixed or not.

That would be right froma strict correctness POV, but looking at the existing monitor handling code it all uses strstr too, so this is matching existing practice. The text monitor code is scary enough that it is probably wise not to try changing it at this stage in its life.
