Re: Terrible performance of XenServer 6.2 and FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE guest

I think you want `shutdown -p now`, which will poweroff the machine (-h just halts it).

Re: Terrible performance of XenServer 6.2 and FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE guest

Its disk I/O that makes the system unusable. I've done a `tar -Jxf src.txz` on identical boxes (which I think should generate a similar IO workload to what you are doing), one running FreeBSD natively, and the other running a FreeBSD PVHVM guest on top of Xen: Native: # time tar -Jxf src.txz real2m15.280s user0m10.021s sys 0m5.257s Xen guest: # time tar -Jxf src.txz real3m13.366s user0m11.430s sys 0m4.767s Which doesn't look that bad. When running under Xen I didn't experience any kind of noticeable slowness while running this workload on screen and switched to another console. If you think disk IO is the culprit, could you provide some synthetic workload with fio that can reproduce this? (Also the dmesg of the FreeBSD guest might be of interest) My test was done using OSS Xen 4.5 and a Linux Dom0 running kernel 3.13.
