migrate exec ignores exit status Binary package hint: kvm Using migrate "exec:cat > foo; false" in the monitor results in the state of the VM being written to foo, as expected, and the VM then being stopped. This is surprising, as I think it stands to reason that in case of a failed migrate-exec process, which is what a non-zero exit status implies to me, the VM should continue. == Version information $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 $ apt-cache policy kvm kvm: Installed: 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 Candidate: 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 Version table: *** 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
