We don't use socket activation _only_ since this would break the autostart feature of domains/networks/storage pools/... However if we come up with a solution that checks for autostarts on boot and only then starts the daemon using socket activation _only_ would be fine. (given that there aren't any other reasons I currently can't remember). > Having the daemon running all the time, when it can do the same through > systemd socket activation, might be more efficient. If you don't want to have the daemon running you can just remove the libvirt-daemon-system package. Cheers, -- Guido p
