Do you mean storage overcommit? That is, assign more storage to domU
than what you actually have?
If yes, it's not a matter of Xen vs VirtualBox. It's a matter of what
storage backend you use. If you use one of these:
- sparse raw file (with file: or tap:aio:)
- qcow
- vmdk/vdisk (I think full support is only in newer Xen or Opensolaris)
- zvol (on Opensolaris)
then you can overcommit storage. But if you use disk/partition/LVM for
domU storage, you won't be able to.
