You have to reboot domU to resize anyway. That way you can then snapshot them in dom0, mount the snapshot and run your backup.I do that now, but I can't do a raw install that way using virt-install or virt-manager, so doing that virst install is a pain in the neck to get a working image. The jailtime.org images are good, but not so useful for non-RPM based OS's.In debian there is xen-create-image that you can tell a lvm VG and it creates its own root and swap volumes there and installs debian. After that you just have to add additional volumes and move data as needed. Neat tool. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
