Xen disk I/O benchmarking: NetBSD dom0 vs Linux dom0

Thursday, April 21, 2005   |   1 Comments   |   addthis
Quoting from OSNews: Xen is a relatively new technology to enable several virtual machines (domU) to run on one computer. The purpose of this article is to determine what operating system (NetBSD or Linux) should be selected as domain 0 (dom0) operating system to get the best performance when running several CPU and disk intensive virtual machines at the same time.

Looks like an interesting test, but the bonnie numbers for Linux are so terrible the rest of the test is pretty invalid.

Something is clearly wrong with the hardware support provided by Linux.
