.), and do: xm migrate Domain Host Similarly, lots of other actions are possible, like pausing, rebooting, shutting down, saving, restoring etc. The idea of having to alt-ctrl-2 on the SDL window does seem a bit incompatible with CLI, doesn't it? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

binaries are available. Hi, This is great news! Do you have any performance numbers for networking to see how it compares to the real hardware? - Linux host (or: real Windows running on that host) - PV Windows (network driver) - non-PV Windows -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org

but depending on the guest it can do up to 600Mb+-. Just generally, how Windows PV drivers help to improve network performance. So, a PV network driver can do about 700Mb/s, and an emulated NIC can do about 600 Mb/s, Windows guest to host? That would be about 20% improvement? -- Tomasz Chmielewski

not necessarily mean the system will not try to write to it. This is the case for ext3, for example - when mounted ro, system will still reply the journal and do some writes etc. The patch, however, should take care of that, too, as it is completely different place it is made ro. -- Tomasz
