[Xen-devel] Unexpected error: exceptions.OSError

The ''xm create'' python script is taking an exception before
ever
launching the domU guest.  After looking at the archives, this seems to
occur frequently enough but for obscure and unexplained reasons.  In the
cases where a resolution was found, it was usually by removing some
option, e.g. vncviewer=1, in the config script.  My script is very
simple and I don''t see much of anything to remove.  

 

Is there anyone who can shed some light on how to go about debugging
these sorts of errors

 

Thanks,

Phil

Have a look in /var/log/xen/xend.log and there¹ll probably be something
useful printed there.

Re: [Xen-devel] Unexpected error: exceptions.OSError

Hello,

Phil Winterfield (winterfi), le Thu 13 Mar 2008 15:45:03 -0700, a écrit
:>     (p, rv) = os.waitpid(cpid, os.WNOHANG)
> 
> OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes
Mmm, I think that may happen e.g. if the creation doesn''t exit but gets
a signal, because in the loop we only test WIFEXITED().  If think maybe
we should rather

    if os.WIFEXITED():
	if os.WEXITSTATUS(rv) != 0:	
	    sys.exit(os.WEXITSTATUS(rv))
    elif os.WIFSIGNALED(status):
	print ("got signal %d" % os.WTERMSIG(rv))
	sys.exit(1)
    elif os.WIFSTOPPED(status):
	print ("got stopped with signal %d" % os.WSTOPSIG(rv))
	sys.exit(1)
    elif os.WIFCONTINUED(status):
	print ("continued")
	sys.exit(1)

To make sure that we properly exit() and return appropriate error
message.

Samuel
