Hi, all
PLS help, i'm reviewing man doc of libvirt secrets
# man virsh
...
SECRET COMMMANDS
The following commands manipulate "secrets" (e.g. passwords, passphrases -----> secret-set-value only support base64 "passphrases"
and encryption keys). Libvirt can store secrets independently from their
use, and other objects (e.g. volumes or domains) can refer to the secrets
for encryption or possibly other uses. Secrets are identified using an
UUID. See <http://libvirt.org/formatsecret.html> for documentation of
the XML format used to represent properties of secrets.
...
So, I want to know that if libvirt support other 2 kinds of "secrets". And if so, How to use password and encrytion keys ? If libvirt not support that, i will file a bug of this man doc.

Hi, Daniel
I saw your blog:http://berrange.com/posts/2009/12/02/using-qcow2-disk-encryption-with-libvirt-in-fedora-12/
and there is only "type=passphrases", so how can i use password or encrytion keys?
