The XML parser sets a default <mode> if none is explicitly passed in. This is then used at pool/vol creation time, and unconditionally reported in the XML. The problem with this approach is that it's impossible for other code to determine if the user explicitly requested a storage mode. There are some cases where we want to make this distinction, but we currently can't. Handle <mode> parsing like we handle <owner>/<group>: if no value is passed in, set it to -1, and adjust the internal consumers to handle it.
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.
