Hi!
Can anybody tell me please where I have to post bugs like this to
find the right contact person who is qualified to fix or even to discuss it?
Is xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx the right list for this?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Von: "Michael Großer" <michael-grosser@xxxxxx> An: xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [Xen-devel] Bug 1591 - xentop truncated VM names Hi!
Some days ago, I discovered the 'xentop' tool (somebody mentioned it here: http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/374218-what-can-we-do-to-decrease-the-time-needed-for-snapshot-reverts/ ) We work with XenServer 6.5 and we use long names for our virtual machines to distinguish between them. A machine name can have about 40 characters, but xentop displays only the first 10 characters in the NAME column. The result is, that I cannot identify a particular VM using xentop. I read the man page and googled around to find a solution. I found the page http://www.bl-nk.net/2014/07/xentop-and-long-server-names/ and created my own quirky solution as follows: # cd /usr/sbin # cp xentop xentop_wide # sed -i 's/10\.10/80\.80/g' xentop_wide This works for me today, but my common sense tells me that this solution could cease working after we update to a newer version or that I could demage some other instructions that accidentally have similar machine codes. I discovered this 6 years old bug: http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1591 The composer of this bug makes recommendations that I wouldn't recommend, so that seams to be the reason why the bug is nearly 6 years old without being solved. I recommend a very simple and reconcilable problem-solving approach: - The man page should contain / describe another option, let me call it "-w / --column-name-width", which requires a number. - When starting xentop with "-w 80" or "--column-name-width=80", then it should display (in every imaginable work mode) a name column with a width of 80 characters. - The default width should stay of cause at 10 characters, but with such an option, I as a user could have a choice. Please tell me, how is the chance that such an bug fix enters a next possible release of XenServer, which release number could this be and when will it roughly appear?
