[Xen-devel] Could two emtpy xenstored folder in /var/... be created when 1st time xenstord start?
Hi all, I just wondered why two empty xenstored folder /var/lib/xenstored and /var/run/xenstored be created when source make and copy to dist/install. How about remove them from source making and create them when 1st xenstrored start, if not other special files generated in those folder? So we don''t need to add more in /var. Any comments? :) Thanks, Yongkang You(Kangkang) _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Unless there''s a compelling reason not to do so, I think it''s okay to assume the existance of /var/{lib,run}/xenstored and have the install script make it.
