Package: xen-utils-common Version: 3.0+hg11292-2 Severity: normal After a recent etch upgrade (2.6.17, xen-3.0.2) I was unable to "xm create" until I "modprobe netloop nloopbacks=10" Error was network-bridge couln't create vif interface (backend not found). brctl addbr ... fails because of no free netloop device. passing more nloopbacks device to the module fixed the

The FAQ says to use loopback.nloopbacks to limit the number of vif''s and veth''s that show up in dom0. This no longer appears to work. Has this been remove with no replacement or has this just changed and the FAQ hasn''t kept up? -- Jason The place where you made your stand never mattered, only that you were there... and still on your feet

Hi, with reference to RH BZ#567540 [0], this patch makes the netloop module permanent (like netback is currently). It reverts parts of xen-unstable c/s 9019:271cb04a4f2b [1] [2] (though that has a typo: "__init clean_loopback", so it was probably changed later too). The patch fixes the problem of "rmmod netloop" hanging, resulting in blocked tasks and inability to shut down

Hi, I try to get networking running with xen 3.2, but it seems I fail miserably. I am on sles10sp1, with xen 3.2.0, and kernel rpm''s installed from SP2. I configured in /etc/sysconfig/network the NETWORK_LIST: NETWORK_LIST="bridge,0,default,00:DE:AD:BE:EF,192.168.8.13/24,dhcp-off" but an ifconfig xenbr0 still shows the mac address of peth0 fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Initially, I

Hi, I was hoping someone on this forums could help me out with a problem I was facing with Xen. When I compiled the kernel for Xen-3.1.3 using "make world"(I know this is an old version but I need to use it for some compatibility issues), the kernel was missing the Xen netloop module. There was no /kernel/drivers/xen/netback/netloop.ko in the newly compiled kernel. I think we would

Hello, I have got something strange when I done a /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge status : 201: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:15:17:8d:cb:1c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff And when I done a /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge I have got this : Link veth0 1 is missing.

Hi, I''m playing with xen from a couple of weeks, all standard configurations work fine within my suse box. But trying to become closer to the xen philosophy I can''t understand the issues which drown developers to use netloop module instead of the tap one. thank''s in advance _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

It appears that this bug is caused by the netloop kernel module not being automatically loaded. xn

Hi all, I recently change my Xen 3.1 for a 3.2 and I discover I have to set IP address on bridge rather than on virtual interfaces. I used to use bridge set on dummy interface to create virtual networks (not vlan) inside my Xen system. Without IP on it bridges can be consider as a hub. dom0 can be outside of these virtual networks. With IP on bridge, dom0 will exists on these networks, and I

Package: xen-utils-3.0.2-1 Version: 3.0.2-3+hg9762-1 Hi, while trying to get xen work, I encountered two problems: 1. I don't know if its really an error, but I think something is messed up with the subdir-name /usr/lib/xen-3.0.2-1 because the version-number of the package suggests that it is an other version, than the subdir says. Every time when I call xm for example I get: WARING!

Hello all, I have a Xen server with 6 network interfaces, I want a bridge on all of them. I use a personal network script like this : #!/bin/bash dir=$(dirname "$0") "$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr0 "$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=xenbr1 "$dir/network-bridge" "$@"

Hi there, After updating a server from CentOS 5.3 to 5.4 my Xen pci-passthru setup has some troubles. The server has two NICs, one used by dom0 and the other assigned to a domU and one SCSI controler assigned to another domU. It has been working fine since CentOS 5.1, when I did the initial setup. After upgrading to 5.4, I get this error when starting the domU with one of the NICs assigned:

I put this page together just so I won't spam the board anymore begging for help..lol http://bobhoffman.com/vmissue.html This shows a working effort of bonded eths, bridged into a vm, and a few other things. The only missing thing is something on the host that ends up putting the VM internet connection into some kind of limbo. Whether it is hardware related, bug related, libvirt nat

Hi List, Centos 5(.2) ships with dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 and logwatch-7.3-6.el5 However the shipped logwatch is not aware of dovecot 1.x meaning none of the log entries (var/log/maillog) are processed at all. Should I file a bug report on this? Upstream? cheers Henry

Hi list, should it be possible to scp a partition with this command: scp /dev/sda7 backupserver:/backup/sda7.img I always get "not a regular file" - which is a clear and understandable error, but my googling tells me that some people are doing this - and it seems to work - at least at their systems. I know that I can avoid this by simply doing dd if=/dev/sda7 | ssh backupserver dd
