Thread-topic: domU discs: file vs. volumemanager
Hello,
we're currently using xen on 4 boxes connected to a san with a shared
ocfs2 lun.
the domU's all have their discs kept as file.

now my question is, whats a good - meaning stable - way to resize them
on demand ?
or even better to still keep them in files, make them resizeable and let
the files 
grow as the disc inside is used. (like virtual server does, imho)

Can EVMS handle this ? Can EVMS also handle multipath SAN Connections ?

Thanks for any suggestions,
-markus
