Xen users - Mar 2007 - Problems with Xen and AoE

Hello everybody.

I''m trying to make some tests with Ata over Ethernet and Xen.
I''d like
to use AOE initiator on the dom0 and then load the domUs images from the
network.

Using Xen 3.0.2, it freezes. The domU doesn''t start, and if I try to
destroy it it goes into a zombie state and the dom0 starts with a weird
behaibour.

Is there any issue about booting a Xen domain from aoe? If I use the AOE
initator from *inside* the domU it works smoothly and withount problems.

FYI I''m using Xen 3.0.2 and aoe driver 6-46 from Coraid.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I have a working setup with aoe and xen-unstable. i know for a fact it
works fine with 3.0.4 as well.
I use lvm on top of the aoe share and each domU have a separate LV. I
tried, unsuccessfully, without lvm at first, and got the same freezes.
