Which seems odd." Since it is very helpful for recovering from an update to an in-guest kernel (which is often useful in xen development but probably also periodically useful to support xen distros), I'd propose that CONFIG_LOMOUNT get turned on by default in Config.mk. If we get complaints, it's easy enough to turn it back off later. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
