[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Shut down the appliance cleanly

When guestfsd exits, or the user exits the virt-rescue shell, the init script exits which causes the kernel to panic. This isn't really a functional issue, as all useful work is done by this point. However, it does cause virt-rescue to display an unsightly error message. This patch causes the appliance to power off cleanly before the init script exits. Note it actually does a reboot rather than a poweroff. This is because ACPI is disabled in the appliance, meaning poweroff doesn't work, but qemu is configured not to restart on reboot. --- appliance/init | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/appliance/init b/appliance/init index 90da1cb..1c01195 100755 --- a/appliance/init +++ b/appliance/init @@ -110,8 +110,8 @@ else bash -i echo echo "virt-rescue: Syncing the disk now before exiting ..." - echo "(Don't worry if you see a 'Kernel panic' message below)" echo fi sync +/sbin/reboot -f -- 1.7.2.2
