Hi Folk.

I'm hosting virtual machines on Debian 3.1 with self compiled current
Xen stable. The system's been running fine for couple of days but
yesterday night something went wrong. One of my clients decided to
restart (init 6) his domU but the system did not bring itself up
afterwards. When I tried to start that particular domU 'xm create'always
return /dev/CLIENT/sda1 is already in use in a client domain. But
actually it was not. The above mentioned block device is a evms/loopback
backed sparse file.

Any ideas or suggestions on how I should resolv or prevent such a
problem from happening are welcome. A restart of the physical machine
did the trick this time but I don't consider that as a 'permanent' solution.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Frank
