The initrd itself is pretty straightforward, especially if you're using a file-/physical-/LVM-backed block device. Using NFS gets a little bit tricky because of the mount procedure, but nothing too difficult to overcome. The only issues I'm running into are kernel stack traces during certain I/O-heavy operations. This has more to do with unionfs I suppose, rather than the xen kernel itself. Another one I've looked at recently is mini_fo <http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/Know/MiniFOHome>, though this doesn't support overlaying an NFS exported volume yet, and it has some caching issues I'm looking into. - gino _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
