Hi. We are running xen-3.0-testing. We use loop back mounted file systems. The server we are running restarts itself/crashes. This seems to happen around setting up loop back devices. (>63 loop back devices seems to trigger a crash, but we have seen then with fewer devices mounted as well).

We have swapped all hardware (bar the disks) to a new server. Same issue. I see no disk errors in the logs.

Does this problem ring any bells for anyone? Else what sort of information can we provide that would assist someone in tracking down a potential bug/problem? Some random info/log snippets follow.

We'll be trying out xen3-unstable/3.0.1 shortly.

Regards, Peter
