[ovirt-users] Host loses all network configuration on update to oVirt 3.5.4

Hi everyone,

it turns out that ifcfg files can be lost even in this very simple scenario:

1) Install/upgrade to VDSM 4.16.21/oVirt 3.5.4
2) Setup a network over eth0
   vdsClient -s 0 setupNetworks 'networks={pokus:{nic:eth0,bootproto:dhcp,blockingdhcp:true,bridged:false}}'
3) Persist the configuration (declare it safe)
   vdsClient -s 0 setSafeNetworkConfig
4) Add a placeholder in /var/lib/vdsm/netconfback/ifcfg-eth0 with:
# original file did not exist
5) Reboot

I created a fix [1] and prepared it for backport to 3.6 [2] and 3.5 branches [3] (so as to appear in 3.5.5) and linked it to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1256252

Patrick, to apply the patch you can also run the two commands and paste it (the line after "nicFile.writelines(l)" is a single space, so please add it if it gets eaten by e-mail goblins):

cd /usr/share/vdsm/
patch -p1

Michael, will you please give it a try as well?
