Xen users - Feb 2006 - backend/vbd/domid not being removed - I have the issue, info, resolution, and want to prevent the bug that allows for it!

Hi,

This issue has been discussed countless times before.  I am opening a 
new thread to help resolve a few of the cases once and for all.

The issue: When starting a VM you receive: /etc/xen/scripts/block: 
Device /dev/vg/lv is mounted in a guest domain, and so cannot be mounted 
now.

The info: Look in /var/log/xen-hotplug.log.  You will see lines such as: 
xenstore-read: couldn''t read path /local/domain/107/vm

The resolution: xenstore-rm backend/vbd/107

After this you can start the domain.

Now, what I am looking to resolve is to make the vbd never get stuck in 
the first place.

What do you need from me?  I am tracking 3.0-testing these days.  I had 
read that using xm destroy would sometimes not clean up the devices, but 
  I tried switching to (and just waiting for) "xm shutdown domid --halt 
--wait" to avoid use of xm destroy, but that has not prevented the problem.

My only solutions are to write garbage collection scripts, but that is 
just a hack and not a permanent solution.

Thank you,
Matt Ayres
