Hi guys,
I've learnt months ago the existing of Xen project. I think this kind of
feature is really interesting for hosting heterogeous application, improve
security of my system and reduce the maintain effort.
I wonder if any of yours have already experienced Xen on Gentoo ?
I wonder if Xen is enough stable to use in production ?
Thanks in advance for your information.
Hi.
I use XEN (latest) without migration and have no big problems so far.
The only big problem I had was to set up the network addresses of the
domU's to their own subnet and to have dom0 routing instead of bridging.
But that was to solve mainly with some websites which describes that
task. And I disabled tx checksumming on the network interfaces in each
domU to make the network go but this was discussed on the xen mailing list.
My network speed from one xenized machine to another xenized machine is
asymetric ( 30 MByte/s vs. 15 MByte/s (roughly) from DOM0 to DOM0,
depending on the direction, measured with iperf ) on GB Ethernet but I
believe that my hardware is the bottleneck, not XEN. I will further
investigate the problem when I have some spare time.

BTW. I didn't use genkernel, I configured the kernel by hand.
