- A Host devices tab on the VM page lists the VM's USB host devices, each
once: how it is chosen (its address, or any device of its model), the
device the running VM holds and whether its next start has it; its other
host devices (PCI, SCSI, mediated) are listed for the XML editor.
- Superusers add a USB device of the host and take it back, on a running
VM too. The add form is loaded when the tab opens, as its choices read
every VM of the host; a hub, a device the host has its own disks or
network interfaces on, or one another VM names is not offered, with the
reason, and refused on the server under the compute's claim. A device is
chosen by model when the host has one of it, else by its address.
- A VM without a USB controller is refused; a device is taken from each
definition as that definition describes it.
- A clone gets none of the VM's host devices (the clone form says so), and
a VM with host devices is not migrated. A snapshot revert is refused when
it would give the VM a device another VM names or the host uses.
- A NIC that is a host device is no longer edited or removed from the
Network tab: the XML editor changes it.
Only external snapshots had their name checked. An internal one could be
taken with an empty name: libvirt named it, the job and its log row named
nothing, and a recovery looked for "" and marked the job failed though the
snapshot existed. Both kinds now pass the same check when queued, and the
internal form asks for a name as the external one does.
Snapshot dates showed no year, so last year's snapshot looked like this
year's in the list one reverts from; they now read 2026-10-13 23:04:00
under "Date (time zone)", as on the Jobs page.
