Hi. Is it possible to preserve comments in libvirt's XML files without it failing validate-xml checks?

Any comments you add to the XML will be lost when libvirt parses and formats it again, only the elements libvirt knows will be preserved. For domains, we have a few elements where you can store your own data: http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsMetadata For secrets and snapshots, only 'description' is available. Jan
