Hi.

When a process in dom0 is writing huge amount of data to a disk in parallel to
creating new domain, it may take quite a lot of time until all hotplug scripts
finish. For example, on my system it takes almost 5 minutes to start all
hotplug scripts.

So it seems 100 seconds is not enough for such scenarios as xend would give up
waiting for hotplug scripts too early. What do you think about the attached
patch, which increases the timeout to 10 minutes? Of course, the dark side of
this change is that it would take ages to recognize hotplug scripts are not
really working.

Thanks for your opinions on this.
