Hello hjb,

meanwhile I upgraded the kernel and drbd to 8.2.4 but the problem still
exists.
I read your docu on pro-linux and read that you also had problems with
Xen VBDs (_file:_ xyz.img),
so I think about if I should make LVM over drbd and create a lv for each
domU or if I should try to bring the tap:aio functionality into Xen and
the kernel, but you did not have good experience with this tap:aio, did
you ?

Can you recommed KVM, is there a docu how you switched from Xen to KVM ?

thanks and regards
Joachim
