Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Make xend reject duplicates and rename zombies

I agree.  This is why in my original patch, I simply had the create
routine reject attempts to create domains with duplicate names.

Further, I will point out that what I meant by my comment attached to
this patch was not that it solved the general problem, but that it
seemed to make the problem not get in the way of some of my existing
tests :)

Yep, I think that's a much better solution.  So, I think my original
patch should still be applied: xend should do its own checking for
duplicates, so that we don't rely on whatever tool is asking us to do
so.
