[virt-tools-list] Virt-top --script problem

[Hui Kang]

Hi, Richard
I recompiled the libvirt from git with this patch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
diff --git a/src/xen/block_stats.c b/src/xen/block_stats.c
index 1d875f2..1b780ba 100644
--- a/src/xen/block_stats.c
+++ b/src/xen/block_stats.c
@@ -130,13 +130,13 @@ read_bd_stat (int device, int domid, const char *str)
     if (r >= 0) return r;
 
     snprintf (path, sizeof path,
-              "/sys/devices/xen-backend/vbd-%d-%d/statistics/%s",
+              "/sys/devices/vbd-%d-%d/statistics/%s",
               domid, device, str);
     r = read_stat (path);
     if (r >= 0) return r;
 
     snprintf (path, sizeof path,

               domid, device, str);
     r = read_stat (path);
     return r;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now my "virsh domblkstat vm1 xvda" have these output.
xvda rd_req 3715
xvda rd_bytes 89224192
xvda wr_req 183
xvda wr_bytes 1400832
xvda errs 0

However, the virt-top still fails to read the block stats. Any comment?
Thanks.
