[libvirt] [PATCH] util:report diskchain as broken if without enough permission
When backing files of a disk file are stored in NFS shared folder,
qemu process requires at least the read permission.
But in some rare situation, these backing files can not even be read
If so, we should treat the diskchains as broken.
This patch add a checking for this, report negative in such case.

We have been historically bitten by changes to this code. I think we need to patch tests/virstoragetest.c (and/or add a new test) before accepting this change, to make sure that we are testing the behavior we want. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com+1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
