If anyone doesn't know already, the upstream kernel tree (as of 3.0-rc1) has xen-blkback included which means you can now run xen which reasonable disk performance with native kernels (though there are currently issues with module-init-tools and kernel-3.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc16 is confused as to whether it was 3.0 or 3.0.0).
Looks like module-init-tools was addressed on 6/6, so that's promising.
I'm having some issues with 2.6.32.39-175.xendom0.fc13.x86_64 and disk partition detection (I need to run partprobe after boot to get, e.g. sdd1 to show up, sdd only is found), so I figured might as well try to move forward before moving back.
My base OS is Fedora 14. Which version of Xen should I have installed if I want to try upgrading to 3.0.0-rc5 via the koji build and get xen-blkback? Is it the same as you've been backporting for us (i.e. no changes needed)?
