[libvirt] [PATCH] Revert "storageVolCreateXMLFrom: Check if backend knows how to createVol"

This reverts commit 611a278fa46d3136b7fe5c6ab05e660ca3c8fdf4. According to the original commit message, this is dead code: It is highly unlikely that a backend will know how to create a volume from a different volume (buildVolFrom) and not know how to create an empty volume (createVol). --- src/storage/storage_driver.c | 7 ------- 1 file changed, 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_driver.c b/src/storage/storage_driver.c index 81b1584..e0ded01 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_driver.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_driver.c @@ -2037,13 +2037,6 @@ storageVolCreateXMLFrom(virStoragePoolPtr obj, if (newvol->target.capacity < origvol->target.capacity) newvol->target.capacity = origvol->target.capacity; - if (!backend->createVol) { - virReportError(VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT, - "%s", _("storage pool does not support volume " - "creation")); - goto cleanup; - } - if (!backend->buildVolFrom) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT, "%s", _("storage pool does not support" -- 2.4.10

ACK, rather than this pointless check, it would be better just to note it in the storage driver structure that backend->createVol is a prerequisite for storageVolCreateXMLFrom. This is something a developer should be aware and is of no use to a user. Also a developer will get the crash when developing it. Peter
