Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-12-08 17:16:10 UTC
A guest may access xenstore paths via absolute paths containing a full pathname, or via a relative path, which implicitly includes /local/domain/$DOMID for their own domain id.  Management tools must access paths in guests' namespaces, necessarily using absolute paths. oxenstored imposes a path name limit which is applied solely to the relative or absolute path specified by the client.  Therefore, a guest can create paths in its own namespace which are too long for management tools to access.
