[libvirt-users] Host modifications

[Benoit Friry]

Hello,

I test libvirt 0.9.12 on Debian.

I am disappointed by changes made on my host without any notice.

Examples:
  - editing interfaces with virsh or virt-manager modifies my 
/etc/network/interfaces. It's not clear at first glance that I can even 
cut myself from the host when editing remotely. The initial file is not 
even saved.
  - starting default network (nat) adds rules in netfilter. I have not 
seen how to create another network nat conf without calling 
clean-traffic nwfilter (it is not explicit in network XML file). Is it 
hardcoded ?

I think it would be nice:
  - to be alerted before any host modification,
  - to be able to change the templates, for instance:
    - not including any nwfilter when creating a network,
    - script called when adding a file in a dir pool,
    - and so on.

Did I miss something?
Am I alone to disappointed by such behavior?

Thanks,
Benoit
