RE: [Xen-API] [XCP] Looking to sponsor someone to create a new SR

ÐÐ, sorry. That's different story.

But what do you except from storing block device images of filesystem?
I think, more interesting is creating some kind of filesystem to be
running under xen kernel (in PV environment) to support block device
resizing without huge overhead... (somethink like xenballoon for
filesystem).
