If save doesn't work something really dumb must be happening.

Is there anything useful in /var/log/xfrd.log or xend.debug?

BTW: I've heard that setting mem= on the domU kernel command line can
cause problems, but haven't investigated yet. 

Obviously the size of the domain shuoldn't make any difference, but have
you tried creating and saving a small domain e.g. 64MB? (I'm just
wandering whether something daft is happening with EINTR or something
during IO).

both were included in previous mail, not sure if there is anything 
usefull for debugging this

my domain setup script is quite simple, no 'mem=' on domU kernel command 
line

--
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU"
name = "virt-1"
hostname = "virt"
memory = 128
disk = [ 'file:/xen/virt-1,sda1,w', file:/xen/virt-1.swap,sda2,w' ]
nics=1
ip = "192.168.0.31"
netmask = "255.255.254.0"
gateway = "81.95.106.1"
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

I've tried it just now - domU with 48MB, still the same results.

There is some python testing script in tools/xfrd, maybe it could help 
me to find the problem, but I'm not sure how much I can tinker with it. 
I don't know, which commands to use and how the xfrd reply should look like.

Probably completely irrelevant, but how could this work? Isn't gateway 
supposed to be on the same subnet as the host?

Yep! The gateway must be directly accesible on the local subnet. 
However, 81.95.106.1 is not on the same subnet as 192.168.0.31.

Noticed that just after I sent that, but this is not the source of my 
problem - I've just pasted and edited config from different machine as I 
wasn't logged on the home-devel one (except for the different net 
config, which got mixed, these two config files are exactly the same)

I suspect some front-end tools are not working correctly and I'd like to 
test to save domain manually. Can somebody post here a sequence of 
commands, which needs to be sent to xfrd and what results should I 
expect? It looks that running xfrdClient.py works (at least it doesn't 
throw errors), but I'm not sure, if it really migrates a domain or not.

I've have the same problems as debribed before in the thread.
I've done a very simple installation of debian (with debootstrap) on a very
simple configuration: one vif and one vbd and i'm able to save the domain. 

But since i wasn't able to save a more complex domain (multiple vif and
vbd) i investigate and i've see that when you have more than  vdb to your
xenU configuration then you can't save it (i got the same message mentioned
before).

This is the same behavior I've seen (Also on Debian).  A domain with 
fewer than 3 file-backed block devices saves/restores fine.  With 3 or 
more the attempt fails immediately.  As I recall the error in the log is 
-12.  I haven't had time to diagnose it further than that.

save / migrate not working on gentoo?

[tdc]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1223 bytes --]

Hi all,
I've tested several versions of Xen (2.0, 2.0.3, 2.0-testing, unstable) 
on different machines (VIA C3, PIII, AMD XP), all running up-to-date 
gentoo system and I'm unable to migrate (or even save) domains on any of 
those machines.
Currently I'm making tests mainly on the Athlon box, on which I've tried 
two GCC versions - 3.3.5 at first, later I've recompiled glibc and then 
Xen 2.0.3 with gcc 3.4.2; still no luck.

xend is running, xfrd is running, all requirements are installed 
(twisted 1.3, ip, brctl), virt-1 domain is running against local 'file' 
based VBDs.

# xm dmesg | grep version
Xen version 2.0.3 (root@here) (gcc version 3.4.2 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r2, 
ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5
)) Tue Jan 18 21:14:17 CET 2005

virt-1             2      127    0  -b---      7.9    9602

# xm save virt-1 virt-1.save

xen.xend.XendError.XendError, save failed

# xm migrate virt-1 localhost
Error: Error: [Failure instance: Traceback: 
xen.xend.XendError.XendError, migrate failed

Logs for the 'save' attempt are attached. Any hints?

TIA
Dave
