Package: libvirt Version: 0.4.4-3 Severity: important Hi,
As discussed in another bug report, one should be able to restart libvirtd without losing running domains. Cases such as upgrades, security upgrades, the daemon dieing for unknown reasons (OOM?) should be gracefully handled by being able to restart the daemon and having again access to your virtual machines (it should be just a matter of saving enough information about started vms to disk, and checking those upon start). Not doing it is problematic in all the cases listed above. There can be another command to shutdown all domains, useful perhaps on system powerdown, that could try to first gracefully inform then, and later terminate them if needed, but this should be detached from simply restarting libvirtd. Simply terminating all kvms/qemus on libvirtd stop is not a correct behavior, and creates too much disservice in a vm hosting environment.
