virtio nic

[udo]

Hi,
due a posting about the performance with the new virtio-driver i give it a second try.

With a new WinXP host and the actual virtio-driver (ide + nic) for pdf-processing (cpu and network-load).
After around six hours the vm stops! This is the same behavior i had with an older version.
Now i'm back on the e1000-driver. The disk stay on virtio (if the vm run's stable).

PVE 1.4, disk on lvm-storage (not local).

I will post next week, if the vm are stable now.
