Hello,

On a DomU I've just replaced the Debian's 2.6.26 kernel by a Vanilly 2.6.28.6 version (amd64). It seems to work very well (ext4 !), but should I reduce the size of the kernel ?

For example, since the DomU use the "noop" scheduler, I can remove anticipatory, deadline, and cfq from my kernel, no ? And... is there any interest to do that ?
Also the Dom0 use software raid and LVM, can I remove that support in DomU ?

Thanks,
Olivier B.

PS : is it the good mailing list for that kind of question ?
