No special tricks, really. My basic setup: - Set up domain-0 using raw disk partitions, so I don't have to worry about starting LVM from an initrd. - Leave a large disk partition unused initially; it will be devoted to LVM. - Install the lvm2 package from Debian in domain-0. - Run pvcreate on the empty large partition, followed by vgcreate. - Use the LVM tools in domain-0 to allocate space for the guest domains, then export those devices to the guests. The guests don't know the space comes from LVM. If necessary, I can add more space to domain-0 with LVM as well, but thus far I've been getting by just fine with the initial partitions for domain-0, and using LVM solely for space for xenU domains. --Michael Vrable ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
