Xen users - Mar 2009 - Devices held in dom0 prevent domU restart

Hi,

On one of my servers, a user had to destroy a domU and the network
interface in dom0 did not get removed.  It still appears in
"ifconfig" and in "ip link" output.  I suspect the block
devices are
still held as well.

"xenstore-ls /local/domain/0/backend" shows many entries for vbd and
vif for the particular domU that is not actually running, e.g.:

vbd = ""
 1 = ""
  51713 = ""

The domU now cannot be restarted due to claimed hotplug errors.  Is
there any way to clear this up so that the domU can be started
again?

Cheers,
Andy
