I've created small test program - test4.c and run it against current HEAD. It takes arguments - domain names - which it spawns a separate thread per each domain and repeatedly starts and destroys domains. See code for more. Then, I've created 20 copies of diskless domain (attached as well): test1..test20 and run my test4 program over them: ./test4 $(for ((i=1; i<21; i++)); do echo -n "test$i "; done) I had to tweak max_client_requests=20 to really run those 20 requests in parallel. However, what I am getting instead of nice measuring of speedup is: [9722] Starting test1 (round 20) ...[9725] Starting test4 (round 20) ...[9724] Starting test3 (round 20) ...[9723] Starting test2 (round 20) ...[9726] Starting test5 (round 20) ...[9727] Starting test6 (round 20) ...[9728] Starting test7 (round 20) ...[9729] Starting test8 (round 20) ...[9730] Starting test9 (round 20) ...[9731] Starting test10 (round 20) ...[9732] Starting test11 (round 20) ...[9733] Starting test12 (round 20) ...[9734] Starting test13 (round 20) ...[9735] Starting test14 (round 20) ...[9736] Starting test15 (round 20) ...[9737] Starting test16 (round 20) ...[9738] Starting test17 (round 20) ...[9741] Starting test20 (round 20) ...[9739] Starting test18 (round 20) ...[9740] Starting test19 (round 20) ...libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test12libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test14libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test7libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test1libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running Unable to destroy domain test12[9733] Destroying test12 ...[9728] Destroying test7 ...[9735] Destroying test14 ...[9733] Starting test12 (round 19) ...libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running Unable to destroy domain test7[9728] Starting test7 (round 19) ...libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running Unable to destroy domain test14[9735] Starting test14 (round 19) ...libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test18libvir: QEMU Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running Unable to destroy domain test1[9722] Destroying test1 ...[9722] Starting test1 (round 19) ...libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test8libvir: error : An error occurred, but the cause is unknown Unable to start domain test15[9725] Done etc. Unfortunately, I caught this after freeze.
