Ok, I'm using Xen in a production environment as an ISP. I would strongly recommend anything thinking of using Ubuntu/Xen to avoid using Ubuntu's kernels in the Dom0, certainly the gutsy kernel is VERY unstable in a number of areas and will generate oops's, panic's and will generally crash under high load or intensive network operations.
I've no idea what's been done to it, there are so many problems I just gave up. I'm running the Redhat 2.6.21 kernel for Dom0's and DomU's and it seems to be 100% rock solid, although I've not really had any problems with Ubuntu kernels in the DomU, it's nice to be consistent. (this is the RH kernel with "gutsy" filesystems, all running x86_64 on Xeon processors) Also; file backed VBD's .. has generally proven not to be a good or reliable idea, mainly because ALL of the filesystems I've tried proved to be unstable or not robust in one way or another. (this includes OCFS2,GFS,Gluster and NFS). My current solution seems to be 100% .. ask me how scalable it is in a couple of months .. :) -- Kernel Ooops using File-backed VBDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
