Another big flaw in our chardev handling is that we haven't yet got any support in qemuDomainXMLToNative for parsing -chardev, which means it all shows up as qemu:command elements instead. The last time we were able to convert from qemu command line back to XML was for qemu 0.11.x. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
