If you look in python/xen/xend/server at the various device controllers, like blkif.py etc they should do the tidying up.

Cheers

These days xenstore only needs to hold information about live
domains. The
/vm/<uuid> directory should be removed by xend once a domain
is completely
dead. It'd be great to get a patch to fix this!

Ok, I'm happy to make an attempt to fix this, but I haven't
really got a
clue even where to start looking to find the right place to
remove it...
Any hint?

Hmmm... Somewhere in tools/python/xen/xend is the best I can do!

I started looking there while waiting for a reply - didn't
find anything
real useful, but I will look again tomorrow unless someone
comes up with
a solution before then.

Well, I've looked at it further, and it's not the
/local/domain/foo that is left behind (or at least, that's
not the first bit that comes up).

Sorry about that, hit Send when I really didn't want to do that...

I've looked for /vm/foo, which is very short, so that's not what is
filling up the xenstore.

It seems like I've got a lot of /local/domain/0/backend/console/* stuff
tho. Not sure if I have any other .../0/backend/* stuff as well, but
certainly there are literally thousands of consoles there..

Trying to locate where these are created and restored, but no success
yet.

The /local/domain/foo directory seems to disappear nicely.
Perhaps the
/vm/foo directory could go at the same time without
things breaking?

Will have a look at the /local/... Path and see if I can find where
that's removed. So far I didn't find any (particularly
useful) "xenstore
remove" operations....
