It would be nicer if that was the case here, since now we have to guess what happened in the daemon, because we try to treat --all as --all-that-are-sensible-and-supportedCould you please elaborate? I don't have enough context yet, I'm not sure what in particular the above means for this patch.
I mean that I do not consider the answer clear-cut. For a single device invocation a failure in the libvirt API makes the virsh command fail. For multi-device, we have to decide which failures are OK or not.

Yes, the question is whether an error for something else than an empty source should be reported.
To preserve that, doing a virXPathBoolean query on the source element should say whether it makes sense to invoke the API or not. (Maybe fill in dashes instead of zeroes as proposed in the discussion last time [0])Don't know if that's what you're talking about but I already get a dashed output. For instance: virsh # domblkinfo --all archlinux Target Capacity Allocation Physical -------------------------------------------------- vda 16106127360 6850265088 16108814336 sda - - - fda - - - If querying <source> beforehand is the right way I'm happy to fix the patch.
a) if we care about preserving the individual errors, please check for source and skip the API call instead b) if we do not, we can ignore all errors and simplify the code Either way looks nicer to me than introducing a specific 'ResetError()' call. Jano
Alternatively, we can resurrect that patch [1] that optimistically ignored all errors and save ourselves the trouble of having to add another exception here later. Jano
