Hi all. I known that i can shape disk iops using cgroups. What about
internal qemu shaper ? http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/DiskIOLimits
does it work with xen? (i want to use it under xen 4.3)

I haven't tried it myself but given that it works on the underlying
storage, I think it might work with qdisk on Xen. (qdisk is just the
interface exposed to the guest and it is completely decoupled from the
way the image is stored.)

phy devices use the in-kernel blkback as default block backend.
You would need to specify backendtype=qdisk to use QEMU and qdisk
instead.
However keep in mind that QEMU is slower than the in-kernel blkback.
