Hi, and thanks for your bug report.

How is this an issue when we are using parallel booting with insserv?

Also, in a normal situation, this would *not* happen, so I really don't
see what the issue is here. Did you see it and had to wait 50 seconds?

P.S: Note that I'm always using remote servers, so I don't see often
what's on the console (unless I open the KVM over IP console).

Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3-15
Severity: wishlist

The current initscript has the possibility of slowing down the boot process by
50 seconds. If this is required, it probably
should be backgrounded.

# Wait for xapi to write its "init complete" cookie: after here
it's safe to modify templates.
wait_for_xapi() {
    MAX_RETRIES=50
    RETRY=0
    while [ ${RETRY} -lt ${MAX_RETRIES} ]; do
        if [ -e ${XAPI_STARTUP_COOKIE} ]; then
            return 0
        fi
        sleep 1
        RETRY=$(( ${RETRY} + 1 ))
    done
    return 1
}
