similar to: tap:aio

Hi all I was reading through Xen 3 user manual and saw this tap:aio should be used instead of loopback... Then I came to do that, but I can get it working with replacing `file'' URI''s with `tap:aio''. My OS: Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 DomU Xen configuration file: kernel = ''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'' ramdisk =

Hi Is it true that the GPLPV drivers is incompatible with QCOW images? The Windows DomU works fine with raw standard "file:/" images, and paravirtualized Linux DomU works fine with QCOW and raw images. If i use QCOW images with my Windows DomU''s i get a stop error: 0x00000007b (inaccessible boot device). It looks like the blkback.3.hda process, that normally starts with

I''m running SLES10 SP1 and have been using file:/ for my file-backed domUs. The domUs sit on a shared OCFS2 SAN-backed filesystem and are run on my three or four XEN servers. I''m having issues with the loopback devices not being released when the domUs shutdown or migrate, so I decided to switch over to tap:aio for my file-backed domUs. This isn''t working, either.

Hello, I installed Xen 3.2.1 on Debian Lenny from packages. Then created image files with 'xen-create-image --size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --dhcp --dir=/xen --hostname=test'. Now I'm trying to run Debian in PV mode using the following configuration file: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-686" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-686" memory = 128 name =

Hello. I''m trying to get the lastest GPLPV binary (rev 238) working on an Ubuntu Server host with Xen 4, but I''ve got some problems. The guest is a 64 bit Windows 2008 R2. After enabling test mode and rebooting, installing and rebooting again (with /NOGPLPV) I can see all the Xen devices, but two (out of three) Xen Block Device Driver have an exclamation mark; I don''t

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 trying move from file: based disk to tap:aio but things don''t work i have centos4 dom0 with centos4 domU xen 3.0.4-testing changeset: 13138:d401cb96d8a0 self compiled [root@xen linux-2.6.16.38-xen]# grep XEN_BLKDEV_TAP .config CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP=m config disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/test.img,hda1,w'',

Maybe it''s something I''m doing wrong, but I have a 15gb image that I use with disk = [ "tap:aio:/root/images/vista32.img,hda,w" ] It was working fine on Friday, but today it failed to boot with an error message. The same works fine when I replace "tap:aio:" with "file:". It seems like qemu-dm tries to open the file with the "aio:" still

Hi James, I''m testing GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13 on Windows 2008 x64, and found some interesting results : - The drivers are NOT signed, even though I''ve install certs. Had to use F8 on boot. - both QEMU and Xen block device are active, which usually means corruption is coming. Is this a known issue? http://i44.tinypic.com/2vmypvk.png http://i42.tinypic.com/2mewnia.png Regards, Fajar

Hi, I am running XEN 4.1 on Debian 6 and I cannot find blktapctrl process running. xend is started. I installed XEN from 4.1 source following instructions here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xen4.0 Should there be a blktapctrl process running in this version? The problem I have encountered is that I can create a domain on a raw disk image but

I''ve just made my first ever attempt at an Nullsoft installer, so if you want to try it download "Xen PV Drivers 0.9.5.exe" from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ The installer should detect the version of windows you are running and install the drivers. At the moment you''ll need to install the shutdown monitor service manually, but you can do that from the start

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there is doing tap:aio disk devices on a Xen HVM vm with any success. Please let me know if you are, and perhaps your version info and a config file snippet. I've posted this to the xen-users list, and what I'm trying to do seems to be correct, works on Ubuntu, Debian, and XenSource; but it doesn't work on CentOS. Here's the snippet from my

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: important /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/blktapctrl searches for tapdisk executable in /usr/bin while is in /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin this makes tap:aio unusable I've linked to /usr/bin and everything went fine perhaps the idea is to patch sources to pick executable from the right directory Regards -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0

I''ve just put up the latest release of the GPLPV drivers for Windows. This release involved a fairly big rewrite of the stuff that talks to Windows as I changed from WDF to WDM.

It also means shipping a great big dll around with the drivers (note the
