I am running Centos 5.7 now. I guess the real question is can I still use Xen with Centos 6? The support end of life for CentOS 5 is listed as March 31, 2014 ( http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-fe8a0be91ee3e7dea812e8694491e1dde5b75e6d). There isn't any pressure, at this point, to convert your VM hosts to CentOS 6 unless there is some feature you require. I doubt RH will add XEN support to RHEL 6. They don't like to add functionality to an existing product. We can hope they bring XEN back in RHEL 7. While Xen will probably return in RHEL 7 simply because it is part of the upstream kernel now I doubt it will be officially supported by Red Hat. Between buying Qumranet (http://www.redhat.com/promo/qumranet/) and now Gluster (https://www.redhat.com/promo/storage/) it is clear that Red Hat aims to become a provider of a complete independent virtualization stack and is unlikely to support competing products directly. The question is what does Xen offer that KVM cannot provide? Looking at the slides of the KVM Forum 2011 (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2011 ) there seem to be many interesting improvements in the pipeline so at some point the question really is why hold on to Xen at all when there is not real reason to? The majority of hardware in my office server room, and both my home servers, are not HVM-capable, so they are not able to run KVM. Of course, as time goes on, this use case would eventually go away as well. However, I'll probably end up staying with Xen as long as possible, if for no other reason than I just like it better. jerry ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

The patch was made against http://wiki.centos.org/wiki/modern-CentOS/css/screen.css If I resize the window to be smaller than 1200 pixels in width, it now messes up the langbar by pushing down the leftmost button. Obviously this only happens when you actively select a page and that then shows up on the right hand of the navigation bar. I'd rather have a bit more vertical space between navibar and langbar, so this cannot happen. Do you think it could be possible to use a pulldown bar for language selection like in: http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Style/Web/Default Maybe we could also adopt this css to Mantis, but I never hacked a Mantis theme before. Could you perhaps send me the one that is currently used, so I can take a look at the structure? Generating the options for the pull-down list should be quite easy -- just changing a few lines in the code. The down side is that those links would not be picked up by search engines. You must also use either javascript or server-side logic to do the page redirection. If the This wiki in ... line towards the bottom is to replicate the langbar (or pulldown bar), then that *would* be picked up by search engines, correct? Also, could the two be sync'd up? Meaning, have the same languages, in the same order, with the same look. Per the latter, the en and de pages display a text description, while the es page uses two-letter code, and es has horizontal lines bordering it (which I like), whereas en and de are plain. jerry ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Long story: Two Dell 6950 (now called R905, 4 Dual-Core AMD Opteron 8200 series) heartbeat/drbd nodes running the stock CentOS 5.2 Dom0. The domU's are the only resources in heartbeat. Dom1 is a perfectly running, updated, CentOS 5.2 Apache/MySQL/Samba server (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen).

Every so often, could be several hours or several days, it just hangs, locks up, becomes unresponsive. Nothing to the console. Nothing logged. When it gets to this point, the only recourse is an xm destroy. It's occurred with every combination of Dom0/DomU. The hardware of both servers checks out OK. The only sign of life, on Dom2's current Dom0, xentop shows CPU usage, and at a high percent, at that: xentop - 12:02:36 Xen 3.1.2-92.1.6.el5 2 domains: 2 running, 0 blocked, 0 paused, 0 crashed, 0 dying, 0 shutdown Mem: 16775712k total, 11629904k used, 5145808k freeCPUs: 8 @ 2194MHz NAME STATE CPU(sec) CPU(%) MEM(k) MEM(%) MAXMEM(k) MAXMEM(%) VCPUS NETS NETTX(k) NETRX(k) VBDS VBD_OO VBD_RD VBD_WR SSID Domain-0 -r 508911.5 9013525.4 no limit n/a 84 17720114 1876571300000 monolith -r 965342 599.2 10486632 62.5 10486784 62.5 62 332672635 3017828520 15805538 60805435 0 I've experimented with various xen config's.

Currently, I've gone from 6 vcpus to the 4 shown above in the hopes that stabilizes it. I'm at wits end.
