Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal When a DomU is defined as using a file: device the loopback driver will be used to make it appear to be a regular block device. The loopback driver will by default only support 8 nodes so this is a limited resource.
http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/10/22/kernel-issues-with-debian-xen-and-centos-kernels/ If there is a problem that prevents correctly allocating the block device (see the above URL for a description of how I encountered it when using a CentOS kernel) then it will not free the loop device. When the domain is destroyed with "xm destroy" it will leave the loopback device, if you run that a few times (EG you have a script to restart DomU's on error) then you run out of loopback devices for the system. The error handling code needs to deal with this case. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
