BTW: does this fix the console output corruption bug that's on the
books?
I wrote a regression suite that stresses the console code pretty hard and checks for data corruption. We're still losing data (although when throttled appropriately the loss can reduced). I've hunted it down a bit and it appears xcs is dropping the messages.

This leads to the question of how close the new console driver is. If it's going to be awhile, I'll hunt down the xcs problem but I'd rather put that energy into just getting rid of xcs.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.

Thanks,

I've done a pretty good amount of testing and this seems to clear up all of the Xend console issues in bugzilla.

This is a pretty big change to Xend though with a lot of deleted code so I'd appreciate if people more familiar with the Xend codebase could look through it critically.

In addition to the patch, the following files are no longer used:

tools/python/xen/util/console_client.py
tools/python/xen/xend/XendConsole.py
tools/python/xen/xend/server/SrvConsole.py
tools/python/xen/xend/server/SrvConsoleDir.py
tools/python/xen/xend/server/console.py

Anthony Liguori
