Xen FreeBSD port is available?

Xen FreeBSD port is available?

[Keichii Moto]

Hello,

I surf the Xen web page, it mentioned that it ported
to
NetBSD and FreeBSD as well. I can't find FreeBSD/xen
source, where I can fetch it?
Thanks.

I was looking for this as well but there doesn't seem to be
any information about it that is easy to find. :(

I don't think the FreeBSD source is publically available, since the full port 
is still being finished off.  Others on this list might know more details 
about this...

HTH,

Okay.

It would be somewhat nice with a minimal status page somewhere so that people
can get an idea about it without having to ask here.

Just a suggestion of course.

I would very much like to help out with testing even before the port is
completely finished.

[Kip Macy]

It hasn't been released yet. It has a couple of bugs and the pdb stub
that we had been relying doesn't work for us on top of trunk. I'm
working on an alternative debugging mechanism that should be working
shortly.

I can't give a date - but there is a lot of internal pressure to get it
done.

If you really have the time for this, I'll roll everything up and get it
out to you as soon as all the obvious bugs are fixed - it boots off a
vbd root and can be logged into remotely so it will be "Real Soon Now".

Out of curiosity, what version of FreeBSD? and I wouldn't mind hearing
about a public beta of this either.

That sounds great. I'll look forward to test it.

Re: Xen FreeBSD port is available?

I too would be interested in moderately testing this out. I've had a few
requests from clients for a *BSD version of the xen vhosting...

 Of course I'd probably need a little help from our guinea pig Christian
(or another) on how best to setup a virtual disk of FreeBSD. ;) Heck,
I'll take a bare-bones FreeBSD vbd image I can load as an OS starting
point. *grin*

Re: Xen FreeBSD port is available?

[Kip Macy]

I was going to strip down the vbd image that I've been using for Ian.
Unfortunately this won't make it into 2.0. Perhaps the new VM debugger
support and having a third port in the tree would warrant a "2.0.1"
release.

Re: Xen FreeBSD port is available?

5.2.1 - I'll shift over to 5.3 once that goes out of beta or the current
XenoFreeBSD bugs have been squashed - whichever comes later.

FreeBSD stable? was Re: Xen FreeBSD port is available?

[Kip Macy]

I've had a VM up and running for about an hour and 45 minutes running
the lmbench3 OS benchmarks. The results aren't going to be that
interesting as I have a lot of diagnostic code in the kernel. However,
it does serve as a first order sanity check of stability.

What all do you need to do beta testing? I have a loopback image (file)
that I use that can probably be compressed down to 100MB. The i386-xeno
tree more or less (one needs to add a few symlinks) just drops into a
FreeBSD 5.2.1 tree.

How stable do you need it to be? There is a known issue that I'm working
around by disabling pre-faulting on a 64MB range of the VA.

If you're inclined to work on it as well I'll send you a patch with the
added debugging support I've added to xen. It has proven *extremely*
useful.

Great.

Does your loopback file contain a normal userland or is it modified in
some way? If it is normal, we should be able to build one ourselves
without any problems.

Regarding the source we will of course need whatever is not already in
the cvsuppable source.

At this point just stable enough to get a good feel about how it will
run. We don't have any immediate plans for production.

Re: FreeBSD stable? was Re: Xen FreeBSD port is available?

[Kip Macy]

What Xen tree/changeset are you using? This was done against 1.1354 on
unstable. I pulled 1.1450 and discovered that the domain builder API has
changed, so I might as well take the time required to change the init
path so that freebsd can be booted by the unified domain builder.

Hi Kip,

Would you tell me where I can get your source?
I'd like to try it, thanks. I'm using Xen 2.0 source.
