Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of

Hi, I have just installed Slackware64 13.0 Linux as a HVM guest with Xen 3.5-unstable changeset 20143 pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.31.4.

Dear Intel Engineers, I am unable to get Intel integrated graphics (IGD) VGA passthrough to work with Xen 4.0.1-rc6-pre, Xen 4.0.1-RELEASE, pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.19 and 2.6.32.21. The moment the command "xm create <Windows XP HVM guest>" is executed, the screen immediately goes blank with the label "NO SIGNAL". It may take anywhere from 3-10 minutes before

Hello, It looks like upstream linux-2.6.git contains at least the following xen related new features for Linux 2.6.36: - Xen-SWIOTLB support (required for Xen PCI passthru and dom0) - Xen PV-on-HVM drivers - Xen VBD online dynamic resize of guest disks (xvd*) Congratulations! What are the plans for 2.6.37 merge window? I believe at least: - Xen PCI frontend Others? I''m going to

Hi All, I followed the instructions here at http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/setup-fedora-11-pv-domu-at-xen-3-4-1-dom0-kernel-2-6-30-rc6-tip-on-top-of-fedora-11/ However, when I do a "make menuconfig", I cannot see any XEN related configuration options. What am I missing? Thank you. Mr. Teo En Ming Dip(Mechatronics Engineering) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering)

Dear David Techer, I have read through your article on Xen VGA passthrough on http://www.davidgis.fr. It appears that the following command on your blog doesn''t work. dmesg | grep 01:00.0 | grep BAR The above command shows nothing at all. Is there an alternative solution? Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

Hi Yongjie, I have just compiled and installed Xen 4.3-unstable changeset 26666 and Linux kernel 3.8.1, according to your specifications. However, I still cannot get success with Intel HD Graphics 4600 IGD VGA passthrough. Although in Device Manager in Windows 7 HVM domU, it says "This device is working properly" for Intel HD Graphics 4600, I can only get 16 colors. Please refer to

Hi, How come gfx_passthru is now an invalid option? Does it mean Xen-unstable 4.4 changeset 27214 no longer supports vga passthrough? -- Yours sincerely, Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
