Re: [Xen-users] GPLPV drivers block when copying huge files

James Harper escreveu:
Oh, one more thing, what is the best way to disable Large Send Offload?
Is it possible to disable it just for a domU with some xen config
parameter or do I have to do something like ethtook -k <bridge??or
hwinterface> gso off, I'm a little confused here.


If you disable it in a DomU (Windows+GPLPV or other) then the DomU should 
advertise to Dom0 that the interface does not support it.

James,

It worked, thanks.

I will leave the exact command here to maybe help somebody that is as confused as I was.

I'm using Xen on Debian, so the physical interface is named pethN, so the command is:
ethtool -K peth0 tx off gso on

James, I'm still curious to know why things work when the server is in Dom0, is there a reason for that?

Thanks.

Fábio Catunda.
