** Description changed: Binary package hint: xen-utils-3.2 The xendomains init script has a couple of errors. - These errors cause the normal migrate then save then shutdown mechanisms - to fail, and instead skip straight to the "shutdown all" stage, which is - a major departure from the expected behavior. + IMPACT: These errors cause the normal migrate then save then shutdown + mechanisms to fail, and instead skip straight to the "shutdown all" + stage. In addition to being a major departure from the expected + behavior, this could cause loss of user data, if users expect the state + of their VMs to be saved instead of destroyed. - The attached patch from Carl Fooks + PATCH: The attached patch from Carl Fooks (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13407539/xendomains.patch) represents the minimal patch necessary to restore functionality. - Details to reproduce: + TEST CASE: 1. Start a Xen domU 2. Run /etc/init.d/xendomains stop 3. Observe that, after several errors are spewed, the domU is not saved to /var/lib/xen/save, as is the default Ubuntu config, but is instead shutdown. + REGRESSIONS: This is a two line patch whose implications can be pretty + easily observed directly. It is highly unlikely to make things any less + functional than they are now. + Please note, this is not the same as bug #208300.
