Re: [Xen-users] Is hardware PCI passthrough working in 3.0 yet?

I've seen at least a few people (myself included) using it for firewalls
and such, dedicating an ethernet card per domU. I'm not sure I'd
entirely agree with the statement 'Its not widely used'.

Yes, but I think all those people (including myself) can run their boxes with 2.07 because none of the features of 3.0 (like running unpatched systems as domU on VT or 64bit addressing) is really necessary on firewalls and TV-recording domUs. And even if "bug reports have dropped dramatically" I would not use 3.0 for a firewall at the moment, I think. :-)

Not for 3.0.0 -- its not widely used so hasn't been a priority. Expect
it to go back in later along the 3.0.x series.
Really? Personally I think that is the best, most amazing feature of
Xen. It's too bad more people aren't using it.

I'll be happily waiting at 2.0.7 until it comes back.
