I'm not sure why I changed that. At any rate, you have to add a ',w' to the end of the block device option when calling vm-create. That's not exposed in vm right now. It's a pretty easy change to the vm script. > 2) vm destroy leaves domains hanging in 'd-b---' zombie-like state > forever. Yes, this broke during the rewrite. It's a little difficult to handling closing an xcs connection in an elegant way. If xcs doesn't have it's connection closed properly it never cleans up the domain. The domain doesn't occupy any resources, it's just annoying. I'm trying to operate on a weekly release schedule. I thought it was better to get another version out even though this problem still existed. I'm going to start a daily snapshot. The URL will be: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/aliguori/vm-tools-latest.tar.gz Expect a fix for #2 within the next day or two. > Keep up the good work. Thanks!
