Thanks Martin,

I tested on a "almost" empty host I had to play with, and it seemed all 
went well, so will hopefully be able to regain ~11 GB of memory after 
restarting libvirtd :) ..

I'll sign up to the other mailing list to find out why / how it could 
have grown this big :\

Thanks
Alex

Hi,
I believe it's save, but just wanted to re-check, is it save to restart
libvirtd on a HV running ~40 VMs ?
Hi,
for libvirt questions, I'd rather use libvirt-users@redhat.com, but for
this particular one, I can confirm that libvirt is written in a way that
enables it to be restarted without any impact on the machines which are
being ran.
Of course I can't say "nothing will happen" due to the fact that every
single time something can happen, but nothing _should_ happen to any of
your machines.
Have a nice day,
Martin
