I''m tracking performance on the machine I installed yesterday. mutt running on one Xen instance, accessing via imap to another instance, accessing via nfs the maildir in another instances, seems little laggy when moving up and down the message index list. Network latency seems low < 30ms on average. So I was tracking vmstat. On the mutt instances is seems reasonable: [nic@shell:~]

Looking at the 2.0 code, it looks like the guest OSs are made to believe that PSE is not available. Is this a design choice? Has any work been done on supporting 4M pages in guest kernels?

Hi. I have a Shuttle box with an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ and 1GB of RAM. I''m normally running it with Debian sarge/sid and kernel 2.6.10-1-k7, as built by Debian. I want to use Xen on it. I built a xen0 kernel which is as close to the Debian kernel as I can (no power management, no HPET timers, broken ISA drivers disabled), disabled /lib/tls, and booted with the new kernel. Everything works.

Hi *, i am coming from UML, and now i evaluate Xen on my desktop: Xen-2.0.4 linux-2.6.10 "CONFIG_MODULES is not set" "CONFIG_AGP is not set" "CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y" FC3, [/usr]/lib/tls moved away It works, but some desktop applications crash once in a while within dom0: metacity-2.8.6 firefox-1.0.1 wnck-applet (from gnome-panel-2.8.1) But

Hi, I''m trying to run ntpdate from domain zero and getting weird results. This used to work (prior to using xen). Is this related to xen at all or an entirely unrelated issue? Queries seem to work: # ntpdate -q time-b.nist.gov Looking for host time-b.nist.gov and service ntp host found : time-b.nist.gov server 129.6.15.29, stratum 1, offset 41.820087, delay 0.17027 17

Hi everyone, I''m doing some networking experiments over high BDP topologies. Right now the configuration is quite simple -- two Xen boxes connected via a dummynet router. The dummynet router is set to limit bandwidth to 500Mbps and simulate an RTT of 80ms. I''m using the following sysctl values: net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 4194304 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096

Hi, I''m using xen on two-node redhat cluster (CVS devel version), using lvm as storage backend. redhat cluster is used to synchronize LVM metadata (using clvmd) and as storage for domain configs and dom-U kernels (with gfs). Latest version of redhat cluster works with xen-2.0.4, but not with xen-2.0-testing. ccsd failed to start on 2.0-testing. Anyone knows what the problem is? I

Hello list, Currently, i use a partition image to run my XenU (/dev/hda2) and "fdisk -l" return nothing and can''t open /dev/hda . I want to use a full hard drive image (not partition image) from my Xen0 as hda in my XenU. I want to be able to run fdisk on hda in my XenU to list and regenerate partitions. I tried with this (/img is my hard drive image): disk =

Hi all, With the new vm-tools we are trying to get top like capabilities going correctly. Currently we have a program vm-list that has some of this capability but is dependent on the cpu time given by libxc calls (xc_get_dom_info & xc_domain_get_cpu_usage). These two functions give you how much time (in nanoseconds, why is this not documented) the domain has been actively used. Approaches:

This is a cross post to <xen-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> and <user- mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Dear lists, Anybody successfully running cyrus-imapd in FC2/3+Xen/UML?

Hi, since 2.0.4 didn''t work with my notebook (see ''[Xen-devel] "general protection faults" in dom0 when loading intel-agp module'') I tried xen-testing. Now I''m on xen-unstable but I still get the following problem. X loads but doesn''t display anything more than the X cursor. The rootwindow looks kind of strange. Please see

Hi! I''m trying to run w83627hf_wdt.ko watchdog driver in domain 0 (xenlinux 2.6.10-xen0), but the driver doesn''t seem to work (the machine reboots all the time after the watchdog-timeout set in BIOS). Is there something that could prevent the driver from accessing the watchdog-hardware (io-ports/registers) ? The watchdog-driver is very simple, and you can find it in

I think this is the last of the header fixes I''ve run across. Though it''s sometimes difficult to tell, I believe Xen/ia64 has asm/mm.h, flushtlb.h, page.h, and shadow.h. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center

google yields nothing except for indicating that it is a boot loader problem. my dom0 partition is on a 9 GB SCSI disk drive. I have a raid1 device (md0) which I have created a series of partitions via lvm2. on boot, xm create /etc/xen/xm-single -c I get what looks like a normal boot until TCP: Hash tables configured (established 4096 bind 8192) NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET:

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question. In that event, please point me in the right direction. My question is whether or not I can use Xen with OpenMosix. The upshot of what I''m attempting to do is this: 1. Build a two to four node cluster using OpenMosix for "raw horsepower" 2. Use Xen on the OpenMosix cluster to divide the "raw horsepower" any

Hi again I have a minimal Fedora Core 3 image running fine as domain 0 (thanks and sorry for the previous FAQ query) using both the standard install ramdisk image, and the FC3 ramdisk image downloaded from xen sourceforge. However, I can''t get it running in a non-zero domain. In brief, I have a full FC3 installed on /dev/hda1, which I typically use as my domain 0 OS. Then I have a

Fwiw, I think a ReactOS port would be very useful to both projects. One thing I think xen could do with (if it isn''t there already) is some sort of virtual framebuffer like with disk and network. Dom0 could provide the backend of the virtual framebuffer (on virtual consoles or inside X windows or whatever), and the other domains could make use of the exported framebuffers. It

I''m using the exact same setup as I''ve successfully been using for both -testing and -unstable.
