I really don't understand what you're saying... Perhaps you should explain it
again, an example of your disk= line from one of your domUs might be enough.
On one of my systems I'm using LVM2 for my domU filesystems. I initialize them
through LVM in dom0 and the domU sees them as whatever partition I wish.
Example:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg0/bebop,hda1,w',
'phy:/dev/vg0/bebopswap,hda2,w',
'phy:/dev/vg0/space1,hda3,w' ]
On another system, I'm using file backed partitions and describe them to Xen
like so:
disk = [ 'file:/opt/gdom1,hda1,w' ]
In neither of these scenarios is the number of partitions allowed on my hard
drive an issue.
Hope this helps.
