[Xen-users] NFS-server in DOM-0. something to avoid?

[<J.Witvliet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

One of my hypervisors (XEN-3.2.1, openSUSE_11.0) is acting as NFS-server, not only for DOM-U's, but also for other nfs-clients on my lan.

If one of the DOM-U's is doing quite some network-IO I found that the hypervisor often freezes, and once in a while even generates OOPses.

All of the NFS-clients then complain about the NFS-server not reachable…

I posted this in SuSE's bugzilla, and got the reply that one should run as little as possible services in the hypervisor, specially not NFS

As the xen-configfiles and xen-images are stored within the area exported by NFS, is it not possible to NFS-export it by a DOM-U.

Any comments?
