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 .. :)
