sorry, I forgot to report the performance of xen4.0+kernel2.6.18.8.

xen4.0+kernel2.6.18.8:
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-16.3 sec  1.79 GBytes    941 Mbits/sec

This combination can only meet some of our needs.

the reason why we didn't use 2.6.18.8:
  1. Our storage application is base on NBD, which will goto deadlock
on 2.6.18.8 when nbd-client and nbd-server are deployed on the same
server.
  2. Hard disk frequently offline

so we want to upgrade to kernel2.6.31.
we also try xen4.0+kernel2.6.31.12(gentoo-xen-kernel patch). the
performance is acceptable, but blktap2(support VHD) not work.
has anybody solve the problem in xen4.0+kernel2.6.31.13?

Cheers,
wyb
