Hi,

I don't know about just I/O but in general I do;

/etc/grub

after the kernal line at the end add dom0=512M
after the module vmlinuz at the end of that line add nosmp

then in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp add
(dom0-min-mem 0)

These mods have made my dom0 no longer pause at wierd times of the day and allow faster performance of my domUs.

- Brian

Anyone have any tips on optimizing CentOS for best I/O when it's being used as a xen server.
