According to our documentation the "key" value has the following meaning: "Providing an identifier for the volume which identifies a single volume." The currently used keys for gluster volumes consist of the gluster volume name and file path. This can't be considered unique as a different storage server can serve a volume with the same name. Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out a way to retrieve the gluster volume UUID which would avoid the possibility of having two distinct keys identifying a single volume. Use the full URI as the key for the volume to avoid the more critical ambiguity problem and document the possible change to UUID.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
