If not, I probably won't worry as all "modern" operating systems support paravirtualized setups. I've got no way of knowing how to run tests on non-linux VMs. If anyone can give advice on benchmarking non-Linux OS', I'd be grateful and will give it a go. Can you (or anyone) suggests tests to run beyond bonnie++ and a kernel compile that would be "real-world" and useful benchmarks? I think one test that will help would be to run tests concurrently on two VMs to see if there is a difference in how Xen or KVM handle very random disk I/O. PS - I will likely need a week or so to get these tests done. -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer@xxxxxxxxxxx AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org -- xen mailing list xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
