Hi there,
I have a Debian Lenny Xen server with a few VMs all running Debian Lenny.
One of these occasionally dies with no apparent reason. Theres nothing in
its own logs that give any indication of what went wrong. I see nothing in
the Xen logs that helps me directly.
I see entries like the one at the end of this mail (I''m going to put
the
log data at the end because it is a gigantic wall of text).
The config file for this domU contains:
<config>
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''restart''
</config>
so I was expecting it would restart... however looking at the Xen logs it
appears that when Xen tries to restart the crashed domU it comes to believe
that its already running...
I''m wondering where I should start debugging this problem. It happens
very
intermittently.

Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not
confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people
than the intended recipient. A postcard can be read by anyone at the mail
sorting office and expecting what is written on it to be private and secret
is not realistic. Please hold no higher expectation of email.
If you need to send confidential information in an email you need to use
encryption. PGP is Pretty good for this.
