Xen devel - Jun 2004 - couple of queries

Hi,

I know that there are lot of changes going on right now, especially
with the management code, but there a few things i''d just like to
check about.

1) after a domain has been shut down, it just sits there instead of
   going away. now, it also did this back at r1.951, but you could
   then remove it with the destroy command. right now, however
   (r1.1014) that doesn''t do anything. The console port is also
   left lying around open.

2) consoles. what is the option in the new xm-style configs for
   controlling the port to use for the console? Can''t see it anywhere;
   tried console_port and port and neither had an effect.

3) it''d be nice for a reboot inside a domain to actually do a reboot.


So, are these just current bugs, or am i missing something which would
get them working?

Ta,

The new ''xend'' controller daemon is not informing the device
drivers
that the domain is dead. They therefore ocntinue to hold onto shared
memory pages (which are used for inter-domain communications), and
these outstanding references keep the destroyed domain alive.
