Hi,

I've been wanting to build a machine to put xen on, and then have a lots of little OS images running on it. I had to put that project on the back burner, but am re-starting it now.

I have some experience with VMWare, and one problem I've seen on it is that with non-scsi disks (I am saying non-scsi because I don't know if it is ATA or SATA), if one machine keeps the the disk busy, then the other virutal machines can't do anything... I have no idea if it's a VMWare or a hardware problem.

What's people experience here with xen. Have you had a half a dozen OS, or a dozen OS running with xen on sata disk ? Would one OS bog down the I/O easily ?


Thanks.


Yves.
