[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#657991: libvirt-bin: virsh hangs when nfs storage is not accessible

[Tyler Stafford]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.8-2~bpo60+2
Severity: important


If a remote nfs storage server is not accessible, the virsh command hangs on any command.  Removing xml file for the missing storage pool from /etc/libvirt/storage and the symlink from /etc/libvirt/storage/autostart fixes the issue.
