Thread-topic: Zombie domain when using vif rate parameter?
I'm using the vif rate parameter to control outbound network bandwidth for Xen 
guests. It works fine. However, when shutting down guests that have a rate 
limit specified in the config file, then that creates zombie domains on the 
machine. When shutting down domains that don't have a rate limit set, I don't 
see any zombie domains at all, so I'm quite confident that the zombie domains 
are resulting from the rate limiting.

Is this a known issue or is there something I can do in order to prevent the 
appearance of zombie domains? I'm not seeing any error messages in the Xen or 
system logs. Please find some more details on my configuration below. I'm using 
Xen in bridged networking mode.

Thanks,
Anna
