[Pkg-xen-devel] Big machines support by Debian Xen

[Nikita V. Youshchenko]

Hello people.

I'm going to maintain a setup of several "big-resource" machines
(>= 4 CPUs, >=8 Gb of ram), which should host large number of "small" 
systems in xen domains.

As far as I understand, using "big machines" is not currently possible 
within debian xen packages, because there is no kernel with pae support to 
use in domain 0, which in turn forces to use non-pae supervisor, which 
makes most of system memory unavailable.

I'd like to ask what is debian xen team's current position on providing 
support for "big machines". Is debian xen team interested in such support?

*) if no, please state this explicitly (should I read the reply in #390862 
as such a statement?); then people who need such support will have to live 
with this, and stop complaining ...

*) if yes, what is the reason of the current situation. May I help somehow 
to improve it?

Nikita
