As a thought, it might be helpful to ask on the libvirt-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users http://libvirt.org/contact.html Pretty sure the guys who did the actual integration work are on that mailing list, so should be able to help. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Open Source and Standards @ Red Hat twitter.com/realjustinclift _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list [email protected] http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
