Hi, I am in a situaation downstream where we would like to have /etc/libvirt/qemu and /etc/libvirt/storage stored on a separate file system from /etc. We are currently doing this with symlinks: ln -s /some/where/qemu /etc/libvirt/qemu ln -s /some/where/storage /etc/libvirt/storage When you do this however, the current start_pre function fails so we have to hack it. Are you willing to accept a patch that allows a downstream user to do this if I write it? Thanks, William
Created attachment 575420 [details, diff] libvirt-fix-init.patch This is the patch I propose for the service script. If a symlink is there, it will allow it, but if it isn't, a directory will be created. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, William
