Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-22). Host A also acts as a NFS server, and Host B acts as 
a 
NFS client. 
> When I migrate a guest domain from B to A. The ssh connection experiences a 
downtime of about 1 minute (the terminal does not react to the keyboard input 
till about 1 minute later). However, the "sudo xm console" does not work unless 
a reboot is triggered. 
> When I migrate the guest domain from A to back B, the situation is even worse 
-- neither ssh connection nor console works. 
> In both migration cases, you can notice that the guest domain is there by 
using "sudo xm list". Could anyone shed some light on the potential problems I 
am facing? I have been working on this for quite some time, but have no idea 
what goes wrong. The following is the log file copied from host B, when the 
guest domain is migrated from A back to B.[2011-02-06 23:35:51 5208] DEBUG

Were you able to resolve the problem? I am also experiencing the same problem 
when using ubuntu 10.10 as DomU. Console as well as ssh connection both freezes 
for 10 mins in both the scenarios (A -> B or B -> A).
