Hello, we were facing a bit of problem that "virsh list" command didn't show correct state, and I report it. I'm talking about a following message, for example. [root@server ~]# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 1 rhel65 running The command showed "running" in spite of no reply from a Guest OS, while qemu process was dumping a corefile. So I guess the process was dying at that time. I'm sure the command shouldn't show "running" state because the process was not running. I believe that "crushed" or "shut off" are better than "running" in virDomainState. Please see: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html I'd like to hear your thinking. Best Regards, Koji
