xenstore tools in guest broken?

xenstore tools in guest broken?

[Dan Magenheimer]

Running xenstore-ls (or any /usr/bin/xenstore* tool) in
a PV guest used to work fine around last summer.  Trying
to run on a recent system, I get:

xenstore-ls: xs_domain_open: No such file or directory

I tried rebuilding the xenstore tools from scratch in
a PV guest ("make install" on a xen-unstable tip tree)
thinking there was some kind of shlib mismatch, but
same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Does your domU have /proc/xen/xenbus?

OK, I see.  I am on an upstream kernel so I have to
mount xenfs on /proc/xen (if COMPAT_XENFS is set...
it is) or mount it somewhere else and
export XENSTORED_PATH="somewhere else".

Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
Dan

You may need to add a xenfs mount to the fstab. Try

mount -t xenfs none /proc/xen

And then try the xenstore tools again.
