The kernel file server jobs can't run in a zone, so that's out
unless I want to use userland NFS/CIFS/iSCSI. I'd like to use the
kernel bits as they seem well supported. So I guess I'm running
those in dom0. I haven't found a good way around this. I figure it's
probably not a common use case for Xen. Other than a possible
security breach in dom0 granting access to the VMs, is there any
reason to really worry about it for my purposes?
It looks like all the guest OSes will need to access storage over
NFS/CIFS. It's not ideal, but I think I'm getting a little premature
optimization by worrying over performance right now. The data will
have to traverse the IP stack, but it's all local, no actual wire
traffic, so it should be reasonably good performance wise. I'll
probably try to have the main OS files live in zvols.
As for Linux, some distros are better than others when it comes to
PV support. Ubuntu is what I'm using now and it looks like they are
right out unless I want to install in hvm mode and build a kernel
for PV support. Not a huge deal, so I might still do that. Unsure at
this point.
