Hello, /etc/init.d/xen uses choom -n -1000 to start xenstored, which is precious. It would be very useful to use it to start xenconsoled too, to avoid losing access to VM consoles after an OOM pass. That's particularly important considering that the fix for the mdadm leak is not backported yet: https://bugs.debian.org/1115497 Samuel
Hi Samuel, Yeah, that idea totally makes sense to me. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure if we can also do this for Trixie, will have to discuss that in the team when we get to this item. Thanks, Hans
