Thanks for the response, but my question was whether it's possible to start
libvirtd (and hence, activate the virtual networks "automatically") on boot,
but
without dnsmasq being started along the way. Your answer means that to disable
dnsmasq from starting automatically, I need to disable the network form starting
automatically too.
Anyway, I destroyed the 'default' network, then killed the dnsmasq process for
that network, but when I started it again, dnsmasq started along with it. So, it
appears that the whole thing is hard coded.
No, it depends on your previous network status, note that libvirt
saves the object's state, so that things could be consistent before
restarting/reloading.
# virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default active no
# service libvirtd restart
Restarting libvirtd (via systemctl): [ OK ]
# virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default active no
# pidof libvirtd
6868
# pidof dnsmasq
6826
# virsh net-destroy default
Network default destroyed
# service libvirtd restart
Restarting libvirtd (via systemctl): [ OK ]
# virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default inactive no
# ps -ef | grep dnsmasq
root 6762 20112 0 15:07 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto dnsmasq
# pidof libvirtd
6689
Does this make sense to you? :-)
