This is very frustrating, and not obvious. If --permanent doesn't work for a command, then it should give an error - not silently fail without doing anything!
But --permanent *did* work.
What you're seeing is the documented behavior: --permanent The permanent option --permanent can be used to set options permanently. These changes are not effective immediately, only after service restart/reload or system reboot. Without the --permanent option, a change will only be part of the runtime configuration.
If you want to make a change in runtime and permanent configuration, use the same call with and without the--permanent option.
That's fairly annoying behavior as it creates the potential for accidentally diverging configurations. Why not do the same as virsh an have two options for this? When I attach a device I can specify --config to update the persistent configuration, --live to update the runtime configuration and both if I want to change both. That's a much better API in my opinion.
It's the same thing but with different names and a default, --config. And I agree, it would be nice to be able to issue both options at once. Would you open a BZ asking for this or should I?
