KR> Adding randomness to the name is a good one. Someone could create KR> a guest with the name TEMPORARY, but if you through some KR> randomness in for good measure, it's unlikely that the InstanceID KR> will collide with the name of a guest. In that case, their InstanceID would be "Xen:TEMPORARY" or similar, so I don't think that's a problem anyway. However, if a client depends on the VSSD's InstanceID being unique for hashing or something else, then two template VSSDs with the same InstanceID could cause a problem. -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms@us.ibm.com
