Hi all,

We have a computer running Windows 2003 as a virtual host inside Xen. A
couple of days ago the computer had a nasty shutdown. After that point,
the Windows guest will simply not use more than 15% of the CPU from the
host machine. I have a Windows machine working slowly, claiming to be at
100%, but running "xm top" shows that it only uses 12% CPU, and the rest
is idle.

Aside from the Windows machine, the machine also runs several
paravirtualized Linux machines. While they are naturally running less
close to full capacity, it would appear (I ran "dd if=/dev/urandom
of=/dev/null") that I cannot saturate their CPU use above 15% either.
Unlike the Windows case, running top on the Linux machine actually shows
the CPU as only 15% in use, but this may as well be due to the
difference between the way Windows accounts for unused CPU and the way
Linux does, so I'm not sure what this means.

Anyone has any thoughts on what the problem may be? I checked the disks,
and they appear not to be hurt. I am fairly certain that this was not
the case prior to the unfortunate power cord pull incident, but I cannot
tell for sure.

Thanks,
Shachar
