[Xen-devel] [PATCH] pyGrub: Implement error handling on kernel/initrd extraction

[Michal Novotny <minovotn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
this is the patch to implement error handling on kernel/initrd 
extraction to pyGrub. There was no error handling before my patch 
applied and this patch adds error handling code to kernel/initrd 
extraction for write code. When dom0 is running out of space the 
standard OSError is being printed to stderr and then pygrub exists when 
an error on writing those files occured.
This was tested on RHEL-5 dom0 with upstream Xen-4.1 unstable installed 
with RHEL-5 i386 PV guest for both cases when dom0 had enough space and 
when it didn't. For the case where there were not enough space on dom0 
it returned the error "pyGrub: [Errno 28] No space left on device" and 
then failed with "Boot loader didn't return any data" message. For dom0 
with enough space the PV guest was started successfully.
Since we agreed that introduction of dom0-min-space is not the right way 
to go, it's superseeded by this patch.
