Hi,
I have a host with 6 VMs set to autostart. When this host reboots, it starts libvirtd, pegasus cimom and libvirt-cim. It also restarts the VMs. Intermittently we noticed a core during start up that points to the last call made by libvirt-cim to "virInitialize". I am thinking that it is a timing issue where virInitialize is called while libvirt is trying to autostart the VMs.
The virInitialize() API calls does very little, it merely sets up a few internal data structures. There is no attempt to connect to libvirtd until you call viConnectOpen, so I can't see how virInitialize would race with libvirtd autostart. To get more information, you really need to capture a stack trace of the crash in GDB (or via Abrt) Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
