Hi, The connection to libvirt seems to be hanging until the service is stopped and started again. But when i checked the status of libvirtd service (on Centos) and libvirt-bin service (on Ubuntu), service is still running. But any new connections and existing connections remain hung.I am using 0.9.4 version of libvirt on both the machines. I also found the following links reporting the same issue. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796451 http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-June/msg00434.html Is this a known problem or is there a solution for this issue? Kindly let me know if there is a work around to avoid libvirt from hanging. Thank you. -- Regards Ananth
