Howdy! I came across the Oneiric server roadmap today and saw some sensible items regarding Xen support which align with work I've been meaning to do for some time, as well as the quoted recent short thread.
I'd like to volunteer to help with this work, I did a lot of work with Xen on Ubuntu over the past couple of years, mostly 3.4 and 4.0 beta on karmic, and am now revisiting with a goal of converting a number of kvm hosts to Xen, which I believe will yield better performance. I'm very familiar with dom0 pvops support and would happily work with the kernel team, as well as refreshing the debian xen packages to 4.1, which has some really great functionality. -- snip -- On 03/30/2011 08:27 AM, Chuck Short wrote: >* Hi,*>**>* In the past Xen support in Ubuntu as a host has been difficult for >a*>* variety of reasons most notably no upstream kernel support.
