When a user does not explicitly set a <driver> in the disk config, libvirt defers selection of a default to libxl. This approach works fine when starting a domain with such configuration or attaching a disk to a running domain. But when detaching such a disk, libxl will fail with "unrecognized disk backend type: 0". libxl makes no attempt to recalculate a default backend (driver) on detach and simply fails when uninitialized. This patch updates the libvirt disk config with the backend selected by libxl when starting a domain or attaching a disk to a running domain. Another benefit of this approach is that the live XML is also updated with the backend driver selected by libxl.
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.
