Just like --long-options, it makes it possible to know which short options are supported by each tool; this can help improving the bash completion, for example. --- align/scan.c | 3 +++ builder/cmdline.ml | 1 + cat/cat.c | 3 +++ cat/filesystems.c | 3 +++ cat/log.c | 3 +++ cat/ls.c | 3 +++

And how should the init script deal with that? If they specify an absolute path, it should be used. Eg, /home/alice/Xen/xen/tools/xenstore/xenstore If the user specifies /bin/bash

This implements most of RHBZ#1367738. I didn't bother with virt-v2v-copy-to-local and virt-win-reg, but all the other tools now have full bash completion. Rich.

Currently PVHVM Linux guests after ddacf5ef684a "xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add xs_reset_watches to shutdown watches from old kernel" hang when run against oxenstored because it does not handle the unknown XS_RESET_WATCHES operation and does not reply. The symptom of this issue is a hang during boot at this point: cpu 1 spinlock event irq 70 CPU 1 irqstacks, hard=dec94000

By default, /var/lib/xenstored is mounted tmpfs in centos 5 but this doesn't appear to be true for Xen4CentOS. This can cause performance issues as mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446089 I'm not sure if this should be part of xencommons, but if not, adding a tmpfs mount should probably be documented on the quick start wiki page. Thanks, Sarah

Hi, recently on irc channel (##xen) was some "discussion" about xen vs kvm... There was idea that it would be nice if domUs could survive dom0 restart, but this needs, for example, to have xenstored running in separate domain. In 2009 Alex Zeffertt posted some patches (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-04/msg00696.html) to add this functionallity, but they

YaST2 sysconfig can logically group the various sysconfig settings if the files are tagged. Add the missing (YaST specific) tags to xencommons.

When a message with zero length is sent to xenstore, the body of the message was not processed until the socket or ring had more data to read; this will cause deadlocks if the requestor is waiting on a response to continue.

Hi All, I just tried a new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit) + Xen and am having some trouble starting XEN. I am using the latest mercurial checkout (4.0.2-rc2) and the only change I made was to Config.mk to enable building the OCAML version of xenstored. " CONFIG_OCAML_XENSTORED ?= y". I am using the same kernel I built earlier for a similar Ubuntu 10.04-64bit / Xen 4.0.0

Hi, I just finished preparing the Xen-4.5 merge from experimental into our next release (Vivid/15.04). And something I actually should have done since the 4.4 times is to report back the delta I have in case there are things Debian might want to pick up as well. So below is the commented debdiff between the 4.5.0-1 in experimental and the Ubuntu version I prepared so far (only compile tested on

In our case, this seems to be some kind of bug with xenstored. For example, let's take our servers "vm7" and "vm10" into consideration, which are configured exactly the same, Debian Squeeze vanilla, no backports. "vm7", as stated below, has more Domain-0 entries, but executes virsh commands (f.e. virsh pwd, virsh list etc) faster (under a second) than

The following series improves kexec in a Xen PVonHVM guest. It is available via git: git://github.com/olafhering/linux.git xen-kexec-XS_RESET_WATCHES-3.0 A new xenstored command XS_RESET_WATCHES has been added in xen-unstable.hg changeset 23839:42a45baf037d. The command removes all watches and transactions for the guest. The following patches make use of the new command to wipe all existing
