KNOWN BUGS in xen-tools

Bugs to fix rather soon

• xen-delete-image doesn't remove all logical volumes if --partitions is used.

  See the link below for details how to reproduce. Reproducable at least with --lvm. Thanks to Antoine Benkemoun for reporting.

  Bug Report

• xen-delete-image ignores extension setting

• partitions were mounted in config file order, not in mountpoint order. That implies that if you specified :

  /boot /

  in that order, / was mounted over /boot, and you would not see /boot. Xen-Tools would then install boot on your / partition, and your boot device was just empty and unbootable.

  Workaround for 4.2 is to write your partition file such as mounts overlap correctly when mounted in specified order.

  Current (unreleased) fix is to sort by mountpoint length.

  Fix would be to reproduce what mount does with mount -a.

• xen-create-image says on startup summary that the Debian mirror is used even if Ubuntu is going to be installed (and works)

Bugs to fix later

t/xen-tools.t can't really test Xen::Tools as the latter requires a local Xen installation. For proper testing, a dummy set of Xen configuration files and configurable paths to them in Xen::Tools would be necessary.
