Moving to upstream, this doesn't have any effect on functionality. Nice find :) The behavior isn't strictly intentional but I don't really know if it classifies as a bug or not. I see the volume= stuff as a convenience option and more so for things like network pools where it's less clear how to translate volume XML into <disk> source XML. If someone shows up with a patch to fix this I will consider it, but I don't think we need to track it in the bug tracker |
Description of problem: the disk type is changed after clone Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-1.4.0-2.el7.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open virt-manager 2. Check the disk type of guest. <disk type='volume' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source pool='default' volume='rhel7.2-ftp.qcow2'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> 3. Clone the guest and check the xml after clone. <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7.2-ftp-clone.qcow2'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> Actual results: The disk type is changed from "type='volume'" to "type='file'" after clone. Expected results: The disk type should be same as before. Additional info:
