Using NFS-root DOMUs.

[Anders Magnusson <ragge%ltu.se@localhost>]

Hi,

I have just setup an amd64 xen environment (NetBSD 5 Beta, Xen 3.3) with
the intention to have all
filesystems NFS mounted (root on NFS etc).  This has proven to work very
well on NetBSD 4 on i386.

But; it do not work especially well; it hangs randomly and quite often
while running rc :-(

I don't know what to look for, ddb says things like:

db> ps
 PID           PPID     PGRP        UID S   FLAGS LWPS         
COMMAND    WAIT
 83               2        2          0 2       0    1               sh 
nfsrcv
 88               1        2          0 2  0x4000    1         dev_mkdb
uvn_fp2
 2                1        2          0 2  0x4000    1              
sh    wait
 1                0        1          0 2  0x4000    1            
init    wait
>0               -1        0          0 2 0x20002   21          
system       *

Any hints?  Is it a NFS problem or xen problem?  Anyone else using root
on nfs?
