Re: [Xen-users] Do I need to specify swap parition for domU?

["Liang Yang" <multisyncfe991@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your reply. However, I would like to use logic volumes 
directly instead of using file backed disk partition for swap partition. For 
example, I created two logic volumes, LogVol00 is reserved as the swap 
partition for domU (1GB)(I copied the whole RedHat filesystem to LogVol01 as 
the / for domU). But I don't know how to specify LogVol00 in xen config file 
as the swap partition for domU.
Could you shed more lights on this issue?

Thanks,

Liang
