Thanks for the patch. It looks like Stefano posted a patch this morning that 
hopefully will take care of the issue with a restart of xend, but if it 
doesn't work, I'll apply yours during a full-blown maintenance event (right 
now, unfortunately, maintenance events are rather disruptive because the 
domUs have to be shut down completely --  
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1521)
If it matters, I am using file: on RAID10 with standard SATA drives.
