Hi, I had to reinstall my windows 2008 vm this morning, I installed the Xen PV Drivers 0.9.12-pre13.exe and they seem to work, but if I do any serious disk i/o the vm grinds to a halt, it has all the symptoms of the disk simlpy not accepting any i/o at all, I was installing acrobat reader at the time and the file copy progress bar stopped moving, then explorer locked up, even task manager does not open. Rebooting fixed the problem, but it happened again as soon as I tried to install anything big. I guess 0.9.12pre13 is not a good version, I cannot remember which one I was using before, anybody have success with a specific version on 2008?

FYI both 0.9.11 and 0.9.12pre13 seem to work perfectly.

That error report had me a bit worried! I''ve had snapshots fill up before, and unless you check in the right place it''s not easy to figure out what is wrong.
