I used for a while FreeBSD HVM (and other os guests...) under xen-3.2.1. There I got problems that VM's react very slowly under ZFS/UFS I/O stress (tar of logs, etc...) till I need to reboot the guest. It was under FreeBSD 7.2 with ZFS beta but 8.0 didn't worked with that xen/kernel. The last weeks I tried Xen 4.0.0 but tap:aio and tap:tapdisk:aio cause complete host kernel crashes under I/O stress (dd if /dev/zero...). With Xen-4.0.1-rc3-pre I haven't these problems, FreeBSD 8 is working (so booting works ;) and states/times seems a lot more healthier. Softs: Webserver with a top 5000 (alexa) site (high db access - cached, some I/O because of downloads), high threaded game server (for wc3), mail server and other webservers/stuff...

The commercial focus of FreeBSD/Xen users at the moment seems to be on HVM support rather than full PVM support.

I use PCI passthrough to hand a PCI NIC to a FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE domU, which I use as my router/firewall for my network. When running in a full HVM configuration, this works fine. However, I recently tried out the XENHVM kernel (tweaked to include the em driver for my NIC). It worked as expected for all the other hosts on the network (my workstation, the laptop, etc). However, I cannot open a web page or any other TCP based session from the dom0. I can ping hosts on the internet, but I can't establish a TCP session with them. Has anyone else experienced something like this? The WAN side of the dom0 uses the PCI passthrough'd em NIC, and the LAN side is bridged to another NIC on the dom0 to provide access to the network (both physical and virtual). Can anyone confirm if this might be resolved in a version more recent than 8.0-RELEASE? As an aside, I'd like to try this with a fully paravirtualized guest, but I can't confirm anywhere if FreeBSD has support for the PCI frontend driver so that I can pass my NIC to a PVM guest.
