I'm going to try and reproduce it myself as well. I just used IOMeter in a
Windows DomU with 30 workers, each having an io depth of 256. A *very* heavy
workload indeed, but my point was to see if I could break something. Unless
the issue is specific to windows causing problems (NTFS or whatever), I'm
guessing running fio with 30 jobs and an iodepth of 256 would probably
produce a similar load.
BTW, do you have access to a Xen node for testing?
No, I don't... and from what I remember, Xen was a _pain_ to set up...
