Indeed, Fernando - I came to this realization late yesterday
myself :)  I appreciate the reply.

I have taken the 36GB sdb and mounted it as /vm-images in
domain 0 where I will use the sparse files method.

Is there no tidy way (yet) to make images from some root?
Just curious.

Jeff,

You should have a set of separate partitions (/, swap at least) for
each domain. Otherwise, when two or more domains try to write
on swap or any other file inside /, you may have a very bad
situation.

Also, how will you configure /etc files if you have only one /etc
for all domains?

2005/4/18, Ian Pratt <m+Ian.Pratt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:

The whole disk naming method did not work.  The specific
method did work.

If you're using a Linux 2.6 dom0 you need to be using 2.0-testing or
xen-unstable  for this to work. 2.0.6 will have the fix when it is
relased.

Ian
