Re: [Vserver] report comparing vserver w/ xen
That's a great paper, I enjoyed reading it. I would almost suggest forwarding it to the LKML, expecially the part about dd cache spoiling. Good benchmarks can impact the way kernel developers think. You never know, with a good benchmark to show a specific problem, you might find a fix for that dd spoiling soon. :) -Martin --- Marc E.

Re: [Vserver] report comparing vserver w/ xen
Marc, Since this is would also be important information to the Xen developers I have forwarded this over to the xen-devel mailing list. Thank you, Matt Ayres Marc E.
