Just a disk= line would suffice. example:

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/volume-group/volume-name,hda1,w' , 'phy:/dev/md1,hda2,w' , 'phy:/dev/volume-group/volume-2,hda3,w' ]

If you are using paravirtual guests, try to export it as xvda1, xvda2 and etc... to get better disc IO performance.

/dev/volume-group/volume-name being one of your LVM volume. (or /dev/mapper/volume_group-volume_name

    Hello,

    In my dom0 (Ubuntu 7.10) I have several LVM partitions (for mp3s,
    photos, ...).
    Since I do not want to have any services in dom0, I have a domU (also
    Ubuntu 7.10) with Samba. So my users connect to that domU. How can I
    export and import these LVM partitions from dom0 into domU?

    Using nfs could work, but I prefer a solution where my LVM partitions
    are 'natively' in domU.

    Thank you for some hints and tipps.

    Regards,
    Markus
