Could you explain a bit more what you mean and how you do it?
Would this solve the disk space problem?
I always use LVM (some as CLVM over iSCSI, some on local machine raidset) for
domU images,
so at least one VG is always present in dom0. To leave dom0 rootfs small and to
have all
in one place, I do setup one LV in this VG for /var/xen.
In short words:
lvcreate -n mydom0name_var_xen -L 40G vg0
mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg0/mydom0name_var_xen
mount /dev/vg0/mydom0name_var_xen /mnt
mv /var/xen/* /mnt
umount /mnt
mount /dev/vg0/mydom0name_var_xen /var/xen
edit fstab to mount on boot.
You'll need at least the RAM size of all of your domU's available at /var/xen.
Hope this was clear ;)
Cheers,
Stephan

Hi all,
I’m playing with Xen for the first time, and encounter problems when
installing a client.
We basically have limited space on the /var/ partition, and Xen seems
to use this as temporary storage during installation.
I prefer to keep standard pathes for easier work. For /var/xen I always create
a LV and mount it in place.
Is there anyway of configuring it to use some other location?
Cheers,
Dean.
