Hi,
As far as I can tell, if QEMU exits abruptly or with a non-zero status
code, libvirt treats this as a domain destruction given no real
indication to the user that something bad happened.
But libvirt does have a crashed state for domains, it's just not used
for QEMU guests.
I was wondering how intention of a design decision this was. Right now
there's no good way for a management tool to detect a crashed
guest/QEMU. Is there something I'm overlooking?
