Log filling with bogus(?) VLAN-related error message

[Ian Pilcher]

My syslog is getting flooded with messages like this:

Nov 19 15:27:16 ian libvirtd: 15:27:16.949: 2725: error :
virInterfaceDefParseXML:807 : XML description for vlan interface misses
the vlan element is not well formed or invalid

I do have tagged VLAN interfaces on the host (br0.1, br0.4, and
br0.251), but none of my VMs are using them.  I am not using any
libvirt-managed networks at all:

[pilcher@ian ~]$ sudo virsh net-list --all
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default              inactive   no

I am running libvirt-0.8.8-7.fc15.x86_64.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Came across your message when I saw similar errors.  In my case they
were interfering with the default network.

I found that running iface-undefine on the VLAN interfaces solved the problem.

Cool!  Thanks!

Actually 'iface-destroy' may be better.  In spite of the name, it
should stop the interface, rather than removing the configuration.
