Hi,
what is minimal recommended memory reservation for domain0? It won't run any services apart from sshd and xend and will provide files from /home (ext3) to other domains as their block devices. Machine is 466MHz Celeron with 256MB of RAM, UDMA/33 IDE interface, and will run about 5 other domains, so less is more ;-).


Boot it with 64MB and then use the balloon driver to crank it
down a bit. Give it a swap file to be on the safe side.

Thanks, but what do you think about 32MB?

j.
