NetBSD & Xen 4 - where are we ?

[Hugo Silva <hugo%barafranca.com@localhost>]

Good night everyone,


My NetBSD -current + Xen 3 + lvm machines have been running pretty 
smoothly for the past few months. Now there are a few new projects and 
some new hardware available next month or so, and I've decided to stick 
with NetBSD+Xen as I'm quite satisfied with it. A huge THANK YOU for 
everyone making this possible!


Some months ago there were a few threads on the list about issues with 
Xen 4 and/or using xl to launch domains.

While I'll be setting up a test box to confirm everything for myself, 
could we make a point of the situation ?


Are HVM & PV domains working alright with Xen 4.1.2 + xl + lvm?

Is the domU SMP code ready for use ? (according to the NetBSD/Xen page 
yes, but do tell about your personal experience!)

Are there plans to implement SMP for dom0 ?

And if a developer would like to give an overview, what has been the 
target of the Xen port recently ? What are the next goals?


Best regards,

Hugo
