[libvirt-users] pre/post vm start commands

[Soeren Grunewald]

Hi there,

for development i use a windows vm. which is installed into a disk 
image. because the compiler generates a lot of temporary files into the 
user tempdir (C:\\Documents And Users\\User\\Local Settings\\Temp) the 
vm becomes quite slow after a couple of weeks and i register a lot 
activity on the disk.
so i moved the temp directory to a ram disk and no more problems.

but because the ram disk is not formated on startup i need to do this by 
hand. so i disabled autostart for the vm and do the following:

$ sudo mkfs.ntfs -q -L TEMP -I /dev/ram0
$ sudo virsh start windows

so the question is, does libvirt provide some kind of pre startup script 
which is will be executed before the libvirtd does the autostart for the vm.
