And, as mentioned by Daniel Berrange, Vdsm should probably be changed to be using netcf to configure host networking. I'm not sure if Gentoo has netcf back-end, though.

I'm sure that there are plenty of other Fedoraisms lurking in Vdsm. We would have to take them down one by one. Dan. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
