Xen and Windows 2003 HVM

[Hauke Fath <hf%spg.tu-darmstadt.de@localhost>]

Hi,

I have an opteron box running i386/xen on netbsd-4. A while back I 
set up a DomU running Windows 2003 Server with an eye to run it as a 
Terminal Server. While tests have been generally satisfactory, there 
is one thing that bugs me:

Several times, the win2003 DomU has managed to lock up the entire 
machine by filling the (admittedly tight) space in the Dom0 file 
system by logging > 100 MB to /var/log/xen/qemu-dm.${PID}.log. What 
it logs is large amount of whitespace with a few dots and form feeds 
- it looks like a repeated attempt at an ascii screenshot from the 
Windows screen.

Since these logfiles are created per-process, management is 
difficult, especially for long-running sessions which don't seem to 
let go of their files.

Does anyone know of a way not to let a DomU log to those files?
