I have also seen lockups of the Xen Dom0 with no DomU started under heavy I/O by a process owned by root. Strangely bonnie++ runs fine under an unprivileged account. I think this is not at all ready for production and will scratch the Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy server installation now and move to something else.
Trying to install the 64bit version to see if that works even got install errors: Unpacking xen-utils-3.1 (from .../xen-utils-3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu18_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xen-utils-3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu18_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/etc/udev/xen-backend.rules', which is also in package xen-utils-common dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xen-utils-3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu18_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Not really impressing -- xen guest hangs after mounting filesystem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
