[Xen-devel] xm in xen-api mode problem after failure to start domain (vbd in use)

[Luciano Rocha <strange@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to start a domain that I knew would fail, as the vbd it would
use was already in use.

However, Xend entered a state that made xm unusable and I had to restart
it:

# xm create -c hal2.xm 
Using config file "./hal2.xm".
/usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole: invalid option -- 1
Invalid number of arguments
Try `/usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole --help' for more information.
# xm list

Internal error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected.
Device /dev/bit/xentmp is mounted in a guest domain,
and so cannot be mounted now..


Internal error: (3, 'No such process').

# xm list

Internal error: (3, 'No such process').
