simple typo confused me:
{{{
# augtool
augtool> set /file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0/DEVICE most0
augtool> set /file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0/TYPE bridge
augtool> ls /file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0
DEVICE = most0
TYPE = bridge
augtool> save
augtool>
[root@gigolo tmp]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0
cat: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0: No such file or directory
}}
save silently fails? Not really, it's because corrects paths where
filesystem is mapped start with /file'''s'''/ not /file/...
To avoid confusion, I propose that augtool issues a warning if path
outside `/files/` or `/augeas/` is used.
