I agree with this. Having a base install of a server (or several different types of servers) in disk images is good, however, as it makes them more portable. You could then just mount the disk image on a loopback and copy it over to the LVM-backed DomU; that's what I do here, and it works *great*. -Alan _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
