Jim,
I think I read that in a thread that I think you wrote earlier. I guess
there''s no package update for this problem then (since everything I
have is current).
Do you know what type of performance hit I should expect running file over
tap:aio? I''ve been running tap for a long time now for all of the
Linux instances.
On the network site, doing the brctl show did show which one was bound that
that''s working now.
Thanks,
Gary

I''ve never been able to get tap:aio: to work for hvm under fc8 either.
tap:
used to work under fc7, but even that doesn''t on fc8 anymore. For the
network, eth0 is the default *bridge* under fc8. In your case, with the
physical eth0 & 1 disabled, do a ''brctl show'' and find out
which bridge
has ''peth<n>'' attached (probably peth2), and then put
'', bridge=eth<n>'' in
your hvm''s config. (No need to change xend-config.sxp.)
