The C xenstored has no mechanism for remembering the list of registered
watches over a restart. Things like the backend drivers in dom0 rely on
watches which are registered at start of day (with no way to reregister)
so if you restart xenstored then they stop working and you can't start
domains etc.

Are you sure? I don't think this has ever worked.
It might be possible to restart the ocaml xenstored, if you arrange to
give it the appropriate command line parameters.
Ian.
