The duplicate calls are coming because the call to 11:54 < caker> xenbus_switch_state is inside a transaction, which is then aborted and 11:54 < caker> retried. This breaks, because of the test above -- the state has been cached 11:55 < caker> locally, but it's not actually made it to the store, because the transaction 11:55 < caker> fails. 11:55 < caker> xenbus_switch_state simply shouldn't be being called in a transaction. I am 11:55 < caker> testing a patch at the moment that should solve this problem for you. 11:55 < caker> Cheers, 11:55 < caker> Ewan. 11:55 < caker> :) 11:59 -!- scott [~slb@router.sbend1meg.1meg.golden.net] has quit [Quit: leaving] 15:35 < caker> Spads: I think I have a method to implement scheduled jobs 16:20 -!- alnr [~alan@cpe-69-200-85-107.nyc.res.rr.com] has joined #linode-xenbeta 16:54 < caker> # dmesg | grep initrd 16:54 < caker> checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers); looks like an initrd 16:54 < caker> Freeing initrd memory: 32768k freed 16:54 < caker> :) 16:54 < caker> ok, so that's working 16:54 < caker> now, onto Finnix 17:56 -!- toxicbomber [~robotmonk@adsl-19-175-228.jan.bellsouth.net] has joined #linode-xenbeta 17:56 -!- toxicbomber [~robotmonk@adsl-19-175-228.jan.bellsouth.net] has quit [autokilled: Spamming channels to try to get more mp3s is not kind.
