Hi,

what does "virsh destroy" with the domain ? Send a kill -9 to the process ?

It forces the guest off, like pulling the power on a hardware machine.
Not sure of the exact mechanism behind the scenes. It does leave the
server defined and you can reboot it again later (albeit like restoring
power to a normal machine, so it might need to replay journals, etc).


The technical details should not matter, but it tries to send "quit" to QEMU and
falls back to killing it IIRC (firsh with SIGTERM and then with SIGKILL).  Don't
do that if you want to use the machine again ;-)
