There was idea that it would be nice if domUs could survive dom0 restart, but this needs, for example, to have xenstored running in separate domain. In 2009 Alex Zeffertt posted some patches (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-04/msg00696.html) to add this functionallity, but they weren't applied. So.. having xenstore in separate domain can have other advantages (performance?). Is it (or will be) possible run oxenstroed in stubdomain? oxenstored is already restartable (or used to be and easy to fix if it was broken), so from a xenstore point of view, you could already restart dom0; Obviously this would block all the domains that try to do a xenstore query, but if the dom0 is restarted quickly enough this shouldn't be too noticeable since a normal working domain shouldn't use much xenstore after starting up. Regarding performance nobody profiled oxenstored in this context as far as i know; I'm not sure that would be a win, and i would much rather squeeze performance in the code directly than move xenstored in a complicated setup. -- Vincent _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
