Add ''-C'' (nocow) option to vhd-util create. Btrfs has terrible performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files (since having copy on write for this kind of data is not useful). According to ''chattr'' manpage, NOCOW

I was wondering if someone can shed some light on why vhd files created with qemu-img don''t really work right with vhd-util and consequentially blktap in general. To validate the incompatiblity its simple enough to do qemu-img create -f vpc test.vhd 40g vhd-util snapshot -n child.vhd -p test.vhd Which will show the below and then the headers don''t display the BATMAP summary:

Hi, Ive just tried Xen 4.0 on Gentoo with 2.6.32 (also tried 2.6.31) forward ported dom0 kernel, Xen itself seems to boot up successfully and everything else on the system is working normally, but when I try to start a domain xm create appears to hang and eventually I get a hotplug scripts error: Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/block failed; error detected.

Hey Keir, I committed the last of the big outstanding tools blockers for 4.2 yesterday. Currently they are still in staging because they added some new xenstore paths which tickled the leak detector in the test system What do you think of doing an rc0 release next week? There''s still some smaller issues remaining but I think they can wait until rc1. Ian.

I am building xen-unstable (23860:a422e2a4451e) on Ubuntu 11.10. I noticed that the "make install" does not create lib entries in /usr/lib/. I see them only in /usr/lib64/. This is causing program like xenpaging to not find the xenctrl library (error while loading shared libraries: libxenctrl.so.4.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) Is this expected behavior or

Here are three small patches that I have applied to the Fedora xen builds and I think are are suitable for xen-4.1.0. The first patch fixes an anomaly in /etc/xen/scripts/network-route. Currently this script contains netdev=${netdev:-eth${vifnum}} ie. netdev is set to eth${vifnum} by default. Unfortunately vifnum is not set anywhere in the xen code so the default is actually the broken

Have an interesting one here, originally found on xen 4.1.0 but just upgraded to xen 4.1.1 and it''s still here. Creating a VM with a tap2 device pointed at /dev/mapper/something, when that device doesn''t exist, causes the tapdisk2 process to go into D mode and also manages to take out any process that queries it. For example, I have /dev/mapper/nathanxenuk1 as a valid disk

Hi there, I''m running several VMs within Xen, and now I''m trying to create/revert snapshots of my VMs. Along with Xen and blktap2, another utility, vhd-util is also delivered, and according to its description, i guess I can use it to create/revert VM snapshots. To create a snapshot is actually easy, I just call |vhd-util snapshot -n aSnapShot.vhd -p theVMtoBackup.vhd | But

I''m getting this message (subject line) in daemon.log every time I start or restart xend. I''m not sure if this is related to the fact that I cannot boot up my Windows domU from a VHD file. The Windows domU was working fine with Xen 4.0.0 (with 2.6.32.14 dom0 kernel). When I upgraded to Xen 4.0.1-rc4 (with 2.6.32.16 dom0 kernel), I can no long boot the Windows domU from VHD. The

Hi, I''m currently trying xen 4.1.1 with the 3.0.0-rc5 (heard that it now contains the xen code to run as front or back xen domain). Everything seems to run fine, except that I am trying since a few hours to mount a .vhd file in the dom0. What I tried so far: to create a blank vhd file (this is working): host# vhd-util create -n /storage/test.vhd -s 20G Then i try to mount the file
