During a discussion it was apparent some people expect the KVM guests to

this is not done as part of the /etc/init.d/libvirtd sysv script stop.

So what likely is happening is that /etc/init/halt is sending TERM
signals to each remaining process, waits 5 seconds and then KILLs them.
Which would be fine if the kvm/qemu processes perform a shutdown on a
TERM signal _and_ they would in fact shut down cleanly within 5 seconds.

That's never going to happen. Five seconds is never enough.

My point exactly.


Isn't this worth opening a ticket about? Killing a guest is a bug whatever way you look at it. The default behaviour should make sense and it doesn't.

It's also a regression: the Xen replacement, KVM, should behave as Xen did.
