>Description:
When I destroy a domU, I get a useless warning message:

xenhost$ sudo xl destroy 35                                                     
xenstore-read: couldn't read path /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/35/0/vnd          
>How-To-Repeat:
destroy a domU that doesn't have a vnd attached or something
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to redirect output in the shell script (and simplify the failure test):

-	if [ $vnd != none ]; then
+	if vnd=$(xenstore-read "$xpath/vnd" 2>/dev/null); then
 		vnconfig -u $vnd
 	fi
 	xenstore-rm $xpath

The rest of the shell script probably needs some serious attention too but I'm trying to get something else done.
