The short name should be unique since it contains the domain ID. The ShortName function is also used for slirp and virtiofsd pid filenames, so we have the cult argument too :) (If you know of an issue with this usage, please share it - it could be the cause of us not cleaning up virtiofsd properly sometimes [0]) JanoOn a Sunday in 2023, Laine Stump wrote:Why?

The advantage of using the name is that it's easier for a human to find, but while the uuid is usually longer, its length is at least predictable/consistent, and I suppose a human will probably never need to find the pidfile anyway... > >>+ >>+ return virPidFileBuildPath(cfg->passtStateDir, name); >>+} >>+ >>+[0] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2151808
