For my and others education, what is > this file, and what had happened? It's used by XendBootloader.py as part of booting a guest. Looks like it's not particularly robust, though: we probably ought to be using unique names for these pipes to avoid collisions if two guests start at the same time, and we also need to be better prepared for the file already existing, and to delete it on abnormal exit, so that we can cope with other errors during guest creation. Care to open a bugzilla so that we can track this, please? Thanks, Stephen
