Just looking for a sanity check J You'll notice that /dev/xbd* doesn't actually exist :-) Also, if you aren't aware, here is my personal list of Xen bugs: - Shutdown via Xen fails to poweroff. It doesn't issue any normal shutdown commands, but tells the Xen code in the kernel to start a shutdown. It's broken on the kernel side. kern/171118 Also, NetBSD's workaround for this is to enable powerd, but we can't when we're running XENHVM and I suspect their powerd is a completely different beast. - If you use PF with Xen HVM your performance will suck. Known bug. kern/154428 Set net.inet.tcp.tso=0 as a workaround. - "Deactivating" a network interface is an option after enabling the xe-guest-utilities scripts. Please don't do that. It seems to cause a panic every time. kern/171138 Also, this happens when you try to change the VLAN assigned to an interface. _______________________________________________ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
