Re: [Xen-users] Re: multiple disk images, how to?

There is an alternative to the Python scripts for configuring domU's --  
just using S-expressions (SXP's) directly.  

However, if this is perceived as a more "low-level" interface, I don't know 
how stable it's going to be across different releases of Xen.  

Running 'xm create --dryrun' on a Python domU configuration file will 
spit out a corresponding S-expression (SXP), and running 'xm create --config 
your_sxp' will create a domU based on an S-expression (SXP).

It seems on the whole far better organized than the Python configuration
files to me.  It also allows for comments (which begin with '#' and
extend to the end of the line), so it's not as if it could not be
feasible for use by first-time Xen users if it were well documented.

Is anyone opposed to using S-expressions as a stable interface for 
domU configurations?

Thanks.

Andrew
