Hi Jim, thanks for your response ans sorry for my late answer, i´m sorry, i don´t really understand what you are missing in [2], or from where in the log-output you see that an shutdown event is missing. on our test-system the output looks normaly as follow: 2016-09-20 15:00:38 CEST libxl: debug: libxl.c:1719:devices_destroy_cb: forked pid 14987 for destroy of domain 1375 2016-09-20 15:00:38

I had planned to wait a few days to see if Ian had any thoughts on the libxl side. I'm not familiar with the code and would need some time to understand it before debugging further.

I still have a branch in my local git tree :-).

To trigger it, I used a hacky script that created, shutdown, destroyed, saved, and restored many domains in parallel. What version of Xen are you using?
