You might want to look at the talk I gave at this year's workshop: http://www.pmw.org/afsbpw07/talks/kula.html "Xen as a test environment" Xen-side I have had fairly good stability, although that has been with Intel hardware running NetBSD. I did some rough testing of stuff running Linux for the talk, and it seemed to work fine. My home cell runs all on Xen-hosted domains and seems to run well, but it is fairly low use (about a dozen users, with me being the only real load on afs). I would keep a close eye on your i/o systems throughput, and how well that works when you add additional stuff on to a particular machine. For me, the bottleneck seems to be disk i/o. As a previous poster mentioned, you can migrate things slowly, ramping up the load on a system until you've found the level you want. Modulo sizing the load on your system properly, AFS and Xen seem to co-exist very well, at least for me. -- Thomas L.
