[Fedora-xen] hald, dbus-daemon (messagebus service) - does a guest domain need those?
Hi! I''ve noticed that a guest domain installed using xenguest-install.py has the HAL daemon and mesagebus dbus-daemon daemons active, eating up memory. Are those daemons really needed for minimal server installation? AFAIK, they are related to management of hardware and for desktop environments, while a guest domain is usually: 1. run on "virtual hardware" (no hot plugged devices, the hardware seen from the domain''s perspective is quite uniform) 2. used for server, not dekstop environments I''ve disabled those 2 services, rebooted the guest domain and it works fine - so is it OK to disable those permanently? Or do I risk some problems occuring? Maybe it''s a good idea to make Anaconda disable those services upon install by default? -- Best Regards, Aleksander Adamowski GG#: 274614 ICQ UIN: 19780575 http://olo.ab.altkom.pl
