Xen users - Jun 2012 - When using xl toolstack stuff left in xenstore at /local/domain/0/backend

Hello,

After creating and destroying a number of domUs, I noticed
that /local/domain/0/backend starts to get cluttered when using XL. The
vif, vfb, vkbd, and vbd sections look like this:

     270 = ""
     271 = ""
     272 = ""
     273 = ""
     274 = ""
     275 = ""

Where the dom ID is set to an empty value, however the console section
looks as though it isn''t being cleaned up at all:

   273 = ""
      0 = ""
       frontend = "/local/domain/273/console"
       frontend-id = "273"
       online = "0"
       state = "5"
       domain = "vm_98_0003cc"
       protocol = "vt100"
       hotplug-status = "connected"

There are a ton of these that build up, but go away if I restart xenstore.

Any clues as to what may be causing this buildup?

Thanks,

Chris

It is a bug if xl does not clean up all this sort of stuff on domain
shutdown. You don''t say which version you are running but I suspect it
is 4.1. If this happens for you with xen-unstable then please report as
a bug on xen-devel.
