[Xen-devel] Zombie VM?

[Nils Toedtmann <xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did a "xm create freebsd" and got this:

  [root@ripley ~]# xm list
  Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
  Domain-0           0       92    0  r----   3018.1        
  Domain-20         20       64    1  --p--      0.0        
  freebsd           20       63    1  r----  31491.5    9620
  [...]

I have no "Domain-20" configured! I'm pretty sure i did not type in "xm
create freebsd" twice, but even if, and even if the freebsd kernel is
very buggy - there should never be two VMs with the same id, right?
Looks like a bug in xend? I booted the freebsd VM several times before,
and i cannot remember this effect, but maybe i just didn't notice it.

The machine is still in this state because you may want me to run some
tests (unpausing Domain-20?). All other VMs run fine (except freebsd
going beserk again, but that's probably not xen's fault).

Here is /var/log/xend.log:

Where does that "EVENT> xend.domain.create ['Domain-20', '20']" suddenly
come from?

The "exception looking up device number for hda" is not critical, that's
normal with udev on dom0.
