Comparing simple dd bs=1M count=10000 on dom0 vs domU. Qemu driver is achieving pretty much the same like dom0.
Thanks

changing from: <driver name='file'/> to: <driver name='tap2'/> makes
the domain start without QEMU.

However I see much better performance with QEMU (close to dom0,
tested using simple dd writes) than with tap2 driver. Is that
expected?


How did you measure it? buffered or direct io?

What's best practise to file based storage on latest CentOS6-xen
(Kernel 3.18.17, Xen 4.4.2-7)

Are there any guides around running QEMU on CentOS6-xen as non-root user?

Cheers

Hi, after migrating to libvirt/libxl according to:


Hi,

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart/Xen4Libvirt

I've noticed that my Xen PV domains are being launched by
qemu-system-i386 running under root privileges.

I am wondering why is this? Previously no qemu process was used.

If qemu is needed for some reason, are there any guidelines for
non-root operation?


In general qemu is used for the following purposes:

- for certain domU disk backend types (image files), and/or if there's
no blktap driver in dom0 kernel.
- domU graphical console (PVFB) VNC server, if it's enabled for the domU.
