Description Florian La Roche 2008-08-18 09:46:34 UTC
Description of problem:

Define a xen-server with several guest systems. If you reboot the
main xen-server Xen0, then the guest systems keep on running without
noticing the reboot. You can see this by looking at "uptime" etc.

After the reboot, the crond running in client DomU systems are
still running, but fail to run scheduled cron-scripts.

Maybe missed cron calls will completely make it fail to run
further requests?

Workaround: After a reboot of Dom0, run "service crond restart" in all
DomU systems.

regards,

Florian La Roche

Urm, it is impossible to guests to continue running while you reboot the dom0.

Are you perhaps using the xendomains script to save running guests to disk, and then restoring them on next boot ?

Comment 2 Florian La Roche 2008-08-18 11:00:35 UTC
Right, xendomains is saving/restoring the DomU machines.

Comment 3 Chris Lalancette 2008-08-18 12:14:57 UTC
OK.  In that case, I would guess this is the same as BZ 426861, which exhibits similar symptoms.  I'm going to close this as a dup of that one for now; if it turns out that that does not fix this issue, please re-open.
