Markus, I'm sure this was reported by the 6.0 big release note bug. Can you check if we're done it and close this one in this case? Direct use of qemu-kvm is unsupported. The only supported use is via libvirt. There is no way to configure the built-in SMB server via libvirt. Therefore it is clearly unsupported. Shipping unsupported features in the product is suboptimal, but can't always be avoided. We do need to make "supportedness" as obvious as we can. Cutting unsupported stuff completely (code & docs) is best, but as I said, it's not always feasible. If we have to leave the code in place, then we should leave the documentaion in place as well. Withholding documentation is not a good way to communicate unsupportedness, in my opinion. Closing NOTABUG. If you disagree with my reasoning, feel free to reopen the bug and explain why you think I'm wrong. |
