Yes, I do, for debugging.

on_crash="preserve"

It enables to make the crashed guests stay there, so you can use for
example "xenctx" to get a stack trace from a crashed guest for
debugging.
Thanks.

Its just that I've had some issues with on_crash and had posted some questions and logfile snippets to this list but all I hear are crickets.

I've been wondering if this feature is actually supported in any way or if its deprecated.


I've been using it, and it works OK.
I haven't seen anything about it being deprecated.

Thanks for the reassurance.

I had been using 'on_crash = restart' and had seen events in the logs where Xen had tried to do this, but on trying to restart, it complained that a domain of that name already existed. When I checked, the domain was not running.

Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people than the intended recipient. A postcard can be read by anyone at the mail sorting office and expecting what is written on it to be private and secret is not realistic. Please hold no higher expectation of email.

If you need to send confidential information in an email you need to use encryption. PGP is Pretty good for this.
