My problem is that I see high volume requests from some people with
little time in between the requests and about matters getting more and
more away from the subject at hand, which more than likely points to
people not taking the time to look for answers themselves on the internet
but choosing the easy path of free advice on a mailing list. This
community is about helping each other out after having done the necessary
research oneself.  At least that's how I see it. Mind you, I'm at risk
stating this, because I frequently am scratching my head in the face of
nasty problems and challenges with tight deadlines, but I try to self
reliant to the max and only if I'm at the end of my wits, I will consult
the list.

No chill pills needed.
FYI, I started a new topic as I had already discovered how to use solve
my ionice problem (I used dstat). Which is why I then moved onto how to
"prioritise" the DomU regarding disk usage, and I know that a lot of
people on this list do that for their customers. I actually did do my
own research, and in fact I will point you to an excellent PDF (which is
taken from the book I'm currently reading):
http://nostarch.com/download/xen_ch7.pdf (Page 11).

Please don't jump to the conclusion that I havn't done my own research,
because I have.

Jonathan,

how would you rate the book you are referring to? I just ordered
"Virtualization with Xen" but I find it basically crap with way too little
practical info.

cheers,

B.
Hi Bart,

I havn't finished reading it yet, but so far I find it that it's a very good book at covering the basics. It starts off with a bit of background in Virtualisation in general, then heads into Xen. I think it's an excellent books, and it will definitely help anyone get started. There is also an excellent section on hosting for customers at well, however thinking outside the box is required in that section.

I'll follow up again once I've finished reading it

Cheers
