Hi all
I am a recent (as of this weekend) convert to Xen and I have to say I am
very, very impressed!
I am now planning a project to create a default Xen domain-0
installation CD based on Debian, providing an easy to use system for
creating
additional domains at install time.
But first I need to iron out some issues with my personal Xen installation.
When I create the domains (xm create -f /etc/xen/auto/dom1 etc) I
sometimes get the error 'Interrupted system call'. Interrogating the
xend-debug.log file yeilds the following which is the only discernable
error:
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Device or resource error
This would say to me that I am using all 8 loop devices. I upped the
max_loop parameter on boot to 255, but it hasnt fixed the issue.
Could you post the config file you are using to start the domain
when you get the problem? It also might be worth running losetup to
have a look at the state of the /dev/loop* devices:
for f in /dev/loop* ; do losetup $f ; done
I don't think increasing max_loop will create any more /dev/loop*
devices if you run out - you'd need to mknod them.
As I said before I only get this error sometimes. If i repeat the xm
create command, it usually starts the domain the second time. The
problem with this is that I cant rely on the domains to get
automatically restarted after reboot.
Here is the complete output from xend-debug.log if that helps.

output = out.readline()

Hopefully I am doing something dumb somewhere and there is a quick fix
so I can get on to setting up my project page :)
Thanks in advance
Tom
