[ovirt-devel] Help understanding the conflict with libvirt-guests.service - gerrit patch 78693

Hi, I am kindly asking for help with understanding the origin of conflict within the *libvirt-guests*.service and *vdsmd.service*. Explanation: I am working on a graceful VM shutdown as described by the feature in a Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1334982. One way (the simplest one as described in the Bugzilla) of achieving the required functionality is to utilize *"libvirt-guests.service"*, which does exactly what is required. The second option is to write a new service that does the shutdown and utilizes the *vdsm.* Since I am new, I do not know what is the best solution. Staying with the fist one I have discovered an old conflict between *"vdsmd.service" *and *"libvirt-guests.service"* explained in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720359. <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720359> I have tried to reproduce described scenario and found that it is no longer an issue. Therefore I have created a *proposal draft* patch to start a discussion, whether it is really needed or not. Further, the research in git history showed this conflict precedes the git history, effectively blocking me in understanding details. Does somebody know about this issue? I am grateful for any information that can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for any help. Kind regards, Petr Kotas
