Hi,

libvirtd(8) states that on restart "any guests whose XML configuration
has not been defined will be lost from the configuration."  But transient
guests (whose configuration has not been defined as they were started by
the create command in virsh for example) are definitely picked up by
libvirtd after restart, just like the persistent ones.  I really like this
behaviour, but the documentation makes me nervous: is this feature not
supported or is the documentation outdated?  I hope it is the latter, so
please consider fixing the manual page if so.

Thanks,
Feri.

Since the domain state is preserved in /var/lib/libvirt the
documentation seems to be outdated. This is true for qemu. I'm not sure
if this holds for all supported hypervisors.
Cheers,
