Hi,

I am trying to do passive profiling of domains in xen. kernel is 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen.

I am not getting the domain samples. Below is the oprofiled.log. Samples are being lost due to no mapping and no mm. Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

When I start the daemon i get the following error but the daemon starts.

opcontrol --start-daemon --passive-domains=1,2,3,4,5

/usr/bin/opcontrol: line 1275: echo: write error: Invalid argument

/usr/bin/opcontrol: line 1118: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Using 2.6+ OProfile kernel interface.

Reading module info.

Using log file /var/lib/oprofile/samples/oprofiled.log

Daemon started.

This is the oprofiled.log file

Nr. sample dumps: 1

Nr. non-backtrace samples: 0
