Re: FreeBSD 10.0-R as Xen 'guest' - clarification?

The man page for xen (man 4 xen) states you should have: options NO_ADAPTIVE_MUTEXES options NO_ADAPTIVE_RWLOCKS options NO_ADAPTIVE_SX The “NO_ADAPTIVE” settings are an optimization when running in environments where different guests run on the same physical CPU. However, many cloud providers seem to statically pin CPUs to VMs, which means the adaptive lock optimization works as expected. — Justin ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I guess I could try it and see but is it also true that we no longer have to do the dance with removing the cd/dvd drive and fixing fstab for ad0 device naming convention? And what about the NO_ADAPTIVE _* kernel options - not needed?

I use gpt anyway so that fortunately has never really hurt us. And what about the NO_ADAPTIVE _* kernel options - not needed? That's the bit I'm interested in - whether they're still needed or not... Our previous Xen guests use the xe-guest-utilities - I was just making sure they're still needed / current now that FBSD 10 is out. -Karl ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
