Also, and I really should know the answer to this (and sorry for not thinking of it earlier), but: > + ret = libxl_console_get_tty(priv->ctx, vm->def->id, > + chr->target.port, console_type, > + &console); Might this race against xenconsoled writing the node to xenstore and therefore be prone to failing when starting multiple guests all at once? Is there a hook which is called on virsh dumpxml which could update things on the fly (i.e. lookup the console iff it isn't already set)?
