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?
Yes, there is. Once you've booted the Xen domaiin, you can add hte
block device or ISO or other file system image to the list of block
devices of the guest domain with the "xm" command, and then log into
the Xen guest and mount it there. I recommend this only for read-only
block devices, to avoid becoming confused about what is writing to the
partition and how too manage it.

This is what I am looking for, but the purpose of the exercise is to
allow the VM's to backup their data to the extra block device. /dev/hdd1
is basically an extra empty HDD that I want to use for backups, so it's
imperative for them to write to them. Currently it's mounted on /bck on
the dom0, so I think I'll just create a seperate folder for each vm,
like /bck/vm01, /bck/vm02, etc
But, how do I share that block device with the domU's? I'm very new to Xen
