Per default, CentOS 5.3 saves a domU’s state when the hypervisor is shut down. In principle this a nice behaviour: The domU will restore its state automagically when the hypervisor comes up again and just continue working. But there are some services (e.g. mldonkey) that don’t like to be restored and refuse to work (i.e. keep in a blocked state forever).<\/p>\n
The easiest way of fixing this, is to shut down the domUs gracefully with the hypervisor. In CentOS (as in probably most other distros as well) you can change xen’s shutdown behaviour in All we have to do is empty the value of the Per default, CentOS 5.3 saves a domU’s state when the hypervisor is shut down.
