I am using Debian lenny in Dom0. Disk is a two disk md raid1. DomUs have
physical lvm.
It seems no matter how I assign the affinity in the DomUs:- top on Dom0
shows cpu0 is "clogged up" with typically 0%id 80%wa yet cores 1-3 are
99.7%id. eg:
 
Most likely you're I/O bound. Try:
- iostat -x 3, see which disk/block device are busy
- xm top. Should show you which dom uses most I/O (works for PV guest
or HVM with PV drivers)
 
Hi Fajar, Yes yes the load is caused by using stress in one of the domu 
using -hdd parameter but it also has -cpu. 
No matter the cpu configuration it seems most of the load goes on the 
first core. 
I am somewhat curious if and how the workload can be spread about more 
evenly on the cores?
