Greetings all- My apologies for the slightly OT post. My primary production platform *IS* CentOS 5.x with a minor scattering of 4.x machines behind firewalls here and there... I find that I'm being placed more and more into a 'quasi-developer' role which strays some from my normal system/network admin duties. Specifically, having to work with the deep internals of make, autoconf,

I am enclosing the patch I have been working on. I have tested this on sles9 (2.6.5) and RHEL 4 (2.6.9). The patch applies cleanly on ChangeSet 11635. This patch was cleaned up based on Ian''s and DOI''s work. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

make balloon driver not return pages which are in [xen_start_info->nr_pages, max_pfn] on ia64. On ia64 memory might be assigned sparsely. In that case xen_start_info->nr_pages and max_pfn doesn''t match while pages which are in [xen_start_info->nr_pages, max_pfn] are used. -- yamahata _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10. In boot I receive error "Cannot find a root partition /dev/xvda2" and a prompt (initramfs) appear. In dmesg (initramfs) appear: blkfront: xvda: barriers enabled (tag) xvda: xvda1 vbd vbd-51712: 16

Hi Keir: [PV-on-HVM]: Add missing includes This patch adds missing includes that currently work through indirect inclusions. This cannot be relied on and indeed does break on older kernels (2.4 for PV-on-HVM).

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Structure of the Xen source code hi all, I installed Xen on my Gentoo machine successfully from source. Now i am going through the code. instead of banging aimlessly for a week or so i thought i should ask the mailing list the following small doubts. I noticed that following directories are there in my xen-3.0.3_0-src directories. 1. linux-2.6.-xen-sparse 2. pristine-linux-2.6.16.29 3.

The command removes all watches and transactions for the guest. The following patches make use of the new command to wipe all existing

Hi, I''m doing some test on a network 10 gb nics and xen with version 3.1 i''m measuring 2.5 gb/sec from domU to an external physical machine with iperf. switching to 3.2 has reduced the measured performance to 40-50 Mb/sec. did anything change in the network interface? can someone help me? thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

The XenPVHVM extensions have not been tested much on very old hypervisors. At least Xen 3.4 gets some testing with the pvops kernel. Require at least Xen 3.4 for the PVonHVM extensions. If an older hypervisor is detected the extensions will be disabled and the guest will only see emulated hardware. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> --- arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c | 27

hello, I know this not quite a xen problem but im sure a fair number of people are using debian for their dom0 and maybe have some insight into this. I have a large number of dom0''s running squeeze and for a long time i was hoping for pvhvm to make into the official debian xen packages and recently during some periodic updates I noticed pvhvm working after a kernel package update. Now

Hi all, I have a rhel 5.1 xen server with two rhel 3 ES hvm guests installed. Both rhel3 guests use an internal xen bridge (xenbr1) which it isn''t binded to any physical interface host. On this bridge throughput it is very very poor, only 2.5 Mbs. How can I increase this throughput??? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Add xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after kexec boot. The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the shutdown path. They are still active, the double registration can not be detected by the new kernel. When the watches fire, unexpected events will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL). An orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the

Hi Keir The latest (hybrid) patchset again... Change from v4: 1. Add support for PV clocksource on HVM. (Replace evtchn enabling with pv clock enabling). 2. Update the patch following Tim''s comments. Change from v3: 1. Minor polish the patchset. Replace several specific is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain() judgement. 2. Name changed... Change from v2: 1.

Hi, Here is the refreshed version of the multi-page ring patch for blkfront and blkback. I currently don''t have time to refresh the blktap part of the patch.

In the past I have used clonzilla under xen to backup windows domains. I just tried it and it will not work. this is xen 4.1.2 and clonzilla-live 1.2.10-14 the disk line is: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/xvg0/nfdlts-c,hda,w'', ''file:/extra/isoimages/clonzilla.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] It boots cd OK. The problem is devices are xvda not hda and clonzilla is not happy with

HVM balloon driver or something, that''s under development, may decrease or increase the machine memory that is taken by HVM guest; in IA32/IA32e host, now Qemu maps the physical memory of HVM guest based on little blocks of memory (the block size is 64K in IA32 host or 1M in IA32E host). When HVM balloon driver decreases the reserved machine memory of HVM guest, Qemu should unmap the
