If one calls update-device with information that is not updatable, libvirt reports success even though no data were updated. The example used in the bug linked below uses updating device with <boot order='2'/> which, in my opinion, is a valid thing to request from user's perspective. Mainly since we properly error out if user wants to update such data on a network device for example. And since there are many things that might happen (update-device on disk basically knows just how to change removable media), check for what's changing and moreover, since the function might be usable in other drivers (updating only disk path is a valid possibility) let's abstract it for any two disks. We can't possibly check for everything since for many fields our code does not properly differentiate between default and unspecified values. Even though this could be changed, I don't feel like it's worth the complexity so it's not the aim of this patch. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007228
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.
