[Xen-users] left over loop devices

[Steven Howe <steven.howe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is my first attempt at XEN, so hopefully this isn't too stupid a question.

I'm using Fedora Core 4 with XEN rpms:
>     xen-3.0-0.20050912.fc4
>     kernel-xenU-2.6.12-1.1454_FC4
>     kernel-xen0-2.6.12-1.1454_FC4

My learning curve speeds up as I very parameters and observe the results. So I've been stopping, and
reboot both the domain0 and domainU system, while experimenting I've been left with a rash of loop
devices shadow mounted to my file backed VDBs.

The problem is, after a shutdown of a client domain from inside the domain, then running a
 'xm destroy domainname',  I still have loop devices left over. Natually, I run out very fast, as my 
virtual server config uses two loops for root, swap.
Sometimes I am able to remove them via:
>      losetup -d /dev/loopX. 
Some times not. If I can remove one, I can remove all. But if not one, none (at least its a consistent 
problem).

Any advice?

Thanks,
Steven Howe
