Re: [Xen-devel] Loopback images
I for one would really appreciate the effort Mark.
Another thing that I would really like to see is support for big memory (and
I'm not implying that Mark should do this too! :o) ). Eventually of course
we'll be using 64 bit machines, but we will still have a number of dual Xeon
machines in our cluster and being limited by the amount of RAM we can use is
a potential concern (we'll be running MySQL databases on quite a proportion
of the VMs). At the moment I have 4GB in each node, but I'd like to be able
to raise that to 12GB. I know this is probably non-trivial, but I think it
would be widely used, especially by folks with large numbers of 32 bit
machines converted to use Xen. Am I correct in my understanding that the
primary reason for not supporting big memory was due to problems with earlier
Xen implementations? Is it still a very difficult problem? I'm still finding
my way around Xen's architecture, so please forgive me if this is not a
sensible question.
Regards,
Paul
