Hi there,

I'm trying to find out if theres anything wrong with using

extra = "clocksource=jiffies"

in domU configuration.

It seems to fix some problems we've had with live migration.

Thanks.



If you are using pvgrub, "clocksource=jiffies" must be placed at
menu.lst, not at domU config file.

We don't use pvgrub nor hvm, its all paravirtualised.

I'm mainly interested if theres any possibility of problems being caused by using jiffies as the clocksource?

Thanks

Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people than the intended recipient. A postcard can be read by anyone at the mail sorting office and expecting what is written on it to be private and secret is not realistic. Please hold no higher expectation of email.

If you need to send confidential information in an email you need to use encryption. PGP is Pretty good for this.
