RE: [Xen-users] domU btdownload problems
Frank/Alexander,
I had similar problems with a similar application (but not bittorrent however).
What fixed the issues with my system was simply increasing the swap space on
the domU.
obviously that won't help for a dom0 setup, but you might be able to solve this
using
some QOS setup on the WAN interface of your dom0 (eg controlling the amount of
packets
sent from the dom0 wan interface to the domU interface - controlling the
inbound flow is
probably not possible).
Greetings,
Sven

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] domU btdownload problems
Hi Frank, hi list
I can confirm a similar problem that I have in the combination with Xen
2.0.5 / 2.0.7 and the python based btdownloadheadless Bittorrent client.
But in my case I run the bt client in Dom0.
After a while all network traffic to my DomU's gets cut, but access via
"xm console xxx" is possible once.
When this happens I can see a huge increase of TX packet drops on my
vif interfaces (bridged mode).
When I try to solve the problem e.g. by rebooting the domU system, it
shuts down cleanly, but never removes from "xm list".
Even "xm destroy" doesn't help. In this state the problem can be only
solved by rebooting the Dom0 server.
Normally my setup simply works without problems, uptimes of dom0 of
months is possible.
So only if I run the BT python client it shows this behaviour.
Unfortunately I don't see anything special in the xen or kernel logfiles
nor on the console running the BT client.
Hope my information helps to get closer to this issue,
Alex
