vnd and pygrub



Dear Xen People,

I have a Ubuntu file system set up on a vnd with netbsd dom0.

When pygrub is run to start this system it parses /boot/grub.cfg on the ext file system.


I modified /usr/pkg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/grub/Grubconf.py to display the lines as it is doing the parsing.


After starting the ubuntu domu I then make changes to /boot/grub.cfg and then

on NetBSD domo run pygrub -n /Xen/fs/johnhubuntu.fs it seems to see a cached version of the /boot/grub.cfg


If I sync both domu and dom0 pygrub still seems to see the cached version.

Even after 50 minutes it still is seeing the cashed version.

If I wait over night then I see the updated version.


If I shutdown the ubuntu domu then pygrub sees the updated grub.cfg


Is this an issue with vnd (and is there a way to flush any pending changes to vnd) or is this an issue with ubuntu sync not doing what I would expect it to do.

Is there a way I can make changes on a ubuntu domu and see the results in pygrub on NetBSD dom0 - other than shutting down domu or waiting overnight?


johnh...
