6:12 a.m.
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 adds a new utility, guestfs_poweroff, to the appliance. This powers
off (reboots really: read the comment) the appliance, preventing init from
exiting, and therefore the kernel panic.
