RE: [Xen-devel] More on networking hang

["James Harper" <JamesH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been seeing this in much the same circumstances, I was attempting
to use a raid1 array of nbd devices, but it wouldn't make it through the
sync most of the time. I was never able to prove one way or another if
it was the bridge code or xen causing a problem.

I've gone back to iscsi, but haven't really tested it much as I'm
hacking the iscsitarget enough to get it to run on 2.6 (it compiles now
but oops's. doh!)

At
