Re: [Xen-users] dom0 freezes under high IO load - HP ML150 G2
I am not sure if testing like this in Dom0 is a good thing. Dom0 is
"special" and should not run any precesses that hit disk hard. thats
the job for DomU

Hello Daniel.
We've had similar problems, but have received very little feedback
from our machines.
Our setup is also not entirely similar to yours. :-)
Could you try something out?
Set a cron job to run every 1 minute:
cat /proc/slabinfo >> /root/slabinfo.txt
When we do this, our problem gets *much* worse. I'd love to know if
these are similar problems.
