[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#543970: libvirt-bin: net-create does not save new network

[Filip Van Raemdonck]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.4.6-10
Severity: normal

Hi,

When running "virsh -c qemu:///system net-create definition.xml", a new
virtual network is defined as expected, but the definition of it is not
saved into the /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks directory.
As a result, a number of things do not work properly, such as marking the
new network for autostart.

Running virsh net-edit and modifying the xml slightly, even adding or
removing a single space, just so that virsh detects that the temporary
file has changed, makes it write out the xml definition into the folder
referenced above and fixes anything that was broken (and that I tried).

Because the xml file is not written to the libvirt configuration, the
created network also does not survive a restart of libvirtd (and I'd
guess the whole system).


Regards,

Filip
