Hi

How do I share a folder, say /bkp with xen hosts? I'm using CentOS 5.1 as host

NFS?


Sorry, I should have said, I'd like to the folder to be visible to the guests, and not NFS / FTP, as it will interfere with the network statistics on the NIC

I don't think there are any other options to share data between the host and guest other than using network.

Certainly, using a serial connection or VNC are not an option.

Why not create a separate interface just for this kind of traffic?
