[Bug 216761] [NEW] [hardy-backports] errors in xendomains init script

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Martin Pitt (pitti):

Binary package hint: xen-utils-3.2

The xendomains init script has a couple of errors.

These errors affected xen-3.3 3.3.0-1ubuntu7, which was backported to
Hardy as 3.3.0-1ubuntu7~hardy1. Please backport xen-3.3 3.3.0-1ubuntu7.1
from Intrepid to Hardy to fix this problem for hardy-backports.

=====

IMPACT: These errors cause the normal migrate then save then shutdown
mechanisms to fail, and instead skip straight to the "shutdown all"
stage. In addition to being a major departure from the expected
behavior, this could cause loss of user data, if users expect the state
of their VMs to be saved instead of destroyed.

PATCH:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20457983/xen-3.2_3.2.0-0ubuntu11.debdiff
for Hardy and
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23083113/xen-3.3_3.3.0-1ubuntu7.1.debdiff
for Intrepid represent the minimal patch to restore functionality.

TEST CASE:
1. Start a Xen domU
2. Run /etc/init.d/xendomains stop
3. Observe that, after several errors are spewed, the domU is not saved to /var/lib/xen/save, as is the default Ubuntu config, but is instead shutdown.

REGRESSIONS: This is a two line patch whose implications can be pretty
easily observed directly. It is highly unlikely to make things any less
functional than they are now.

Please note, this is not the same as bug #208300.
