IIRC, disk I/O scheduling is a TODO for Xen and should be supported in
the future.
Yes i read that on the roadmap page.
That said, have you actually seen this case (where the Dom0 comes to a
complete halt, I/O blocked on account of disk usage by the DomUs)?
Not under Xen, but under uml yes. The host almost died because of the disk io and processes from a uml running on it.
