one note about xenstore: I'm not using xenstore myself (no "xm new foo"), all domUs are started via config file either in /etc/init.d/xendomains or with "xm create foo", so I'm a bit surprised to find all the domU info in xenstore *after* all those domUs are shut down ?!
I think you are confusing xenstore with xend's internal domU configuration database. The latter is where managed domU config is stored (/var/lib/xen/domains/<domU-uuid>/config.sxp), e.g. when doing 'xm new domU-config'. xenstore is where information is stored for _running_ domUs. Front and backend drivers rendezvous there, the various tools (xend, qemu-dm, etc.) read, write, and watch state in xenstore, etc. It is a database for active domUs. That said, all xenstore information pertaining to an active domU should be removed once the domU has powered down. Lots of conditions can cause orphaned entries in the store however. E.g. if blkbk does not fully cleanup the vbd, udev is never triggered, hotplug scripts aren't invoked, and xenstore entries are not removed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
