The daemonizing code lets the parent exit almost immediately. This means that it may think it has successfully started even when important failures occur like not being able to acquire the PID file. It also means network sockets are not yet open. With this patch applied to 0.7.2 I'm seeing:
# libvirtd -d 15:20:22.457: error : main:2971 : Failed to fork as daemon: Success
about every second time I start the daemon. Any idea where this comes from?
No, but that sounds bad to me - something I'm not expecting must be going on here. Definitely sounds like a race condition. I should add that the daemon is running fine afterwards. It's just that
