Xen project Mailing List

Not sure if I was doing anything uncommon in particular, but I did compile Kernel 3.3.0 for Xen with pciback built-in, and every other flag I could find.

I was using Xen 4.2 unstable, revision somewhere within 100 of 25300~, compiled with UEFI source modifications (arch/x86/setup.c).

My board is an ASRock Extreme4 Gen3, I have 2x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0 controllers, so plenty of ports.

For your situation, I would double check as I imagine your USB 2.0 drivers are part of the motherboard chipset download (since they are "onboard" aka part of the Motherboard Chipset). Worth a try. Alternatively you could always try late-binding for USB 3.0 this way when you are done you can give it back to Dom0.

This is interesting, because with my pci passthrough i only get USB1.1
speed which is about 1,5MB/s max (i actually get 0,9MB/s).. so this is
a huge difference your results..

May i ask what kernel and xen you are using and if you are doing
something unusual or different to the common way?

I actually have a usb3 controller too, but i would like to keep it to
the dom0 because i'm doing my server backups through it..

I have a Asus Crosshair IV and there are no actuall USB2 drivers for it.. :(
