Bugs to fix before a 4.3 release

--------------------------------

6

* xen-delete-image doesn't remove all logical volumes if --partitions is used.

8

   See the link below for details how to reproduce. Reproducable at





9

   least with --lvm. Thanks to Antoine Benkemoun for reporting.

13

* xen-delete-image ignores extension setting





14






15

* partitions were mounted in config file order, not in mountpoint order.





16

  That implies that if you specified :





17

	/boot





18

	/





19

  in that order, / was mounted _over_ /boot, and you would not _see_ /boot.





20

  Xen-Tools would then install boot on your / partition, and your boot device





21

  was just empty and unbootable.





22






23

  Workaround for 4.2 is to write your partition file such as mounts overlap





24

  correctly when mounted in specified order.





25






26

  Current (unreleased) fix is to sort by mountpoint length.





27






28

  Fix would be to reproduce what mount does with mount -a.





29






30

* xen-create-image doesn't unmount the tempdir properly if /proc wasn't mounted inside





31






32

* xen-list-images does not honour --extension





33






34

* --extension='' (i.e. empty string) no more works
