Yes, the xen9 kernel as mentioned on the 
http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/installing_in_xen_3.0/ page 
worked fine here under xen 4.0 and 4.1 as well.

That'd be a virtual machine *guest* you're describing there.  The 
answer for plan9 as a vm host is still 'no.'
Please post this, however, in the thread concerning the use of plan9 
under Xen4.  The OP sure would be interested in your usage under Xen4.

if you're running xen you're almost certainly using a linux in dom0.
Given that, kvm is usually a better bet.

Right, dom0 is a Xen3 Debian.

OK, but that's strange, I read the opposite advice from you and Eric
Van Hensbergen : http://9fans.net/archive/2007/04/152

OK, it's 5 years old... I wasn't aware that qemu/kvm did such
progresses... what make this huge difference?

On the other hand, since 2009, I tried a lot Plan 9 over qemu+kqemu,
then switched to kvm (Intel vmx).  Even if I didn't quantified the
benefits of Xen3, I really felt it gave me best perfs for both disk
access (fossil+venti) and when running as a terminal (graphics).

But kvm is to me far more simpler to setup (no dom0) and run.

Re: [9fans] Xen4 status

2012-10-22 Thread ron minnich
Yes, starting about 5 years ago people began to move to KVM for many
reasons. And some very smart people have made it very very fast.

If you run 9front, you can take advantage of its virtio drivers, and
use the kvm tool instead of qemu. That's a big win right there. But
qemu+kvm is quite good in any event.

[9fans] 9grid?

2012-10-22 Thread Don A. Bailey
Is 9grid still around? Has much progress been made on the viability of
9grid as a production resource in the past few years? Lots of the web data
is down, so I'd love to hear from anyone using/working on 9grid resources?

Thanks,
D
