Comment 4 for bug 1574957

Hi Matt,
I looked into this and had to realize that I missed your bug.
I beg your pardon - I took over looking after qemu/libvirt a while ago and this is an issue from the time this was not clear yet and we seemed to have missed it for way too much time.

Especially since you made all the great effort to even test, bisect and backport a fix.
I really beg your pardon!

OTOH (the good side of things) the issue you are referring to is already fixed in bug 1620407.
We came to the same conclusion there as you did, we did look into backporting but for the complexities you have found as well looked into alternatives.
It turned out we needed way less to get it working.

So since libvirt (1.3.1-1ubuntu10.8) your issue should be fixed.
If not for your specific kind of setup please report here, I'm subscribed now and it should not be another year almsot :-/
