Hi folks

I tried netback in a domain != 0. I can connect and use it without problems. The entry in the xenstore looks like | backend = "" | vif = "" | 18 = "" | 1 = "" | domain = "test2" | handle = "1" | script = "/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge" | state = "4" | frontend = "/local/domain/18/device/vif/1" | mac = "00:16:3e:74:64:d1" | vifname = "vif-test2.0" | online = "1" | frontend-id = "18" | feature-sg = "1" | feature-gso-tcpv4 = "1" | feature-rx-copy = "1" | hotplug-status = "connected"

Now I shutdown the frontend domain and the domain remains in a zombie state: | # xm list | grep test2 | Zombie-test2 18 128 1 ---s-d 19.1

The backend entry in xenstore did not change and the interface in the backend domain did not disappear.

If I read the the netback code correctly, the frontend sets state to 6 (closed) at this time. I tried to do that by hand but nothing happened.

I use xen-unstable 11560 as hypervisor and 11536 as kernel.
