Re: [Xen-users] Xen scheduler?



This is quite odd.

What version of Xen are you running?

What is the state of this "starved" domU as reported by xm top?

When you say its processes time out, what are these processes
and what do they do? Are your domUs doing CPU intensive work
or I/O?

Cheers,
Emmanuel.
