Please contact the FreeBSD foundation and let them know that Amazon
contacted you. The best thing to do IMHO is get Amazon and the
Foundation discussing Xen related things before involving developers.
Thanks,

I also figured that it might take even more time to
then port to the version of Xen used by Amazon.
What version is that and why do they assume they are still using it
when the port is finished?

Hi everyone,
I received an email from a contact @ Amazon AWS yesterday asking about
For working on the FreeBSD DomU, what should we use for the Xen kernel
and the Dom0?
Most people use Linux for Dom0 I think, but I understand you can also
use Solaris.
I was running the bleeding edge sources for a while, and I was able to
get them to work, but not well. I eventually
I'd suggest use whatever works. I use Centos 5.x since they use the
latest stable xen patched kernel but its quite out of date.

The Xen kernel sources seem to be kept in both Mercurial and Git
repositories. I've never been real clear as to which one I should use.
If I want to use the development sources, but not the raw, seething,
bleeding edge, which repository do I use? Can you supply an example
checkout command
Just don't dick around with that stuff unless you're an actual developer! :)
stick to a distribution you get support from. I'd suggest CentOS.
Centos/redhat are at least caring about Xen PVM/HVM support. Ubuntu
for example seems to really only care about KVM these days. No idea
about the rest.

If you want to make FreeBSD also run under the 3.0.3/3.1 hypervisor that
CentOS/RHEL use, that's great (I think ec2 uses the

I'm concerned that the FreeBSD support might need patches made to the
Xen kernel or to the various Dom0s.
If that were the
The -head xen stuff I was testing worked fine with the out-of-box Xen
hypervisor shipped with CentOS 5.3.
That is what I'm using to do development against at the moment.

The best thing users can do is -tell- the FreeBSD foundation that
they're interested in this and in what way they're interested.
If you're a company that is or would like to be deploying FreeBSD on
Xen, you should also do this.

I've kept quiet, but I wonder why we're feeding penguins for dom0,
when netbsd has dom0 support since 4.0
i need the file system flexibility of zfs. nothing in netbsd. penguin
has lvm, which gets a lot of what one needs.
