Re: [Xen-users] Best Distro for Xen, Software Raid and LVM

["padmakar vishnubhatt" <vishnubhatt@xxxxxxxxx>]

fedora core 4 from http://jailtime.org worked out the best for me. I tried others w/ quite flaky results (i.e. if I starte more than two domains w/ a script at the same time - it would crash the domO kernel or get into some memleak issues in xennet, dhchp would not work, creation and maintainence of lvms was getting to be painful, etc).

 

by using file-based vbd from the above link - i created a 1.0 (extendable to any size you prefer) file/image and have had no problem ever since (touch wood!). however i still have a lingering problem to do w/ packet/ip forwarding - i cannot seem to get on the internet for some reason - which i believe is to do w/ the host/dom0 in itself rather than domU. I've turned off iptables but to no avail (so far).

Hey all,

I'm looking for people's experiences with distros that work best with Xen 3.0.2, software raid, and lvm.

I've tried Ubuntu (Breezy and Dapper) and CentOs 4.3.  I wasn't satisfied with either.  When I installed Dom0, I configured the drives for software raid and lvm.  Then after downloading the Xen source, building and installing it, I couldn't get the Xen kernel to boot.  The difficulty was only componded by both distros installing LILO.

Any insight into this area would be appreciated.

Regards,
