Hello,

I have this problem - I have installation of Xen and Centos 5 (all RPMs are 
from Centos repositories). 
I have several DomU virtual machines running on this machine.
When I try to copy some bigger amount of data from another physical computer to 
Dom0/DomU on this machine, the network freezes. The link is still up, I can see 
that the connection really links on the switch, but nothing is received or sent 
to the network. I tried to stop all the DomUs, stop the network, unload the 
network drivers from memory and loading them again and starting the network, 
but the problem persists. Only reboot solves the problem.
Sometimes the amount of data have to be around gigabytes (last time it was 
10GB), sometimes 500MB is enough to stop the network...
I also tried to change the NIC, but the behavior is the same.
Btw. logs don't say anything :-/

Any idea ? Thank you very much !

Vladimir
