The XML-files in /etc/libvirt/qemu represent libvirt defined VMs, you should never edit these files directly while the libvirtd service is running. You should either use 'virsh edit [vm_name]' or alternatively virsh dump followed by virsh define. If you edit the file directly while some manager is running (like virt-manager in CentOS), your changes will most likely conflict with, or get overwritten by, virt-manager. Nothing critical should happen, but I don't see any reason for encouraging doing it The Wrong Way(TM). Best regards Kenni
