However I have to do the 'virsh list' very fast, so it happens while the others are still starting up. That seems to be the trigger. Without that, all start up fine. With that, more often than not I get at least one failure. I'll try to reproduce with rhel6, but setup will take me some time. Or maybe I'll first add some debugging info to qemuDomainObjBeginJobInternal() and qemuProcessStart(). Since virsh always seems to lose the connection while waiting for handshake from child, it seems a good place to check. -serge -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
