Hello,I just discovered that the 32 bit FreeBSD works fine for me as a guest OS, but the 64 bit version doesn't. My host is a 64 bit Intel machine that supports full virt. Does Xen support 64 bit guests? Is there any benefit to running a 64 bit guest on 64 bit hardware performance-wise, or are there bottlenecks (e.g. Xen itself not being 64 bit). I'm debating whether KVM + 64 bit FreeBSD vs. Xen + 32 bit FreeBSD would ultimately be faster for me, or whether the difference would be negligible? I know that 64 bit does not equal faster, and my machine also doesn't have more than 4 gig of RAM, so perhaps I'm splitting hairs... Anyone care to straighten me out? :) -- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
