Re: [Xen-users] Drivers needed in both dom0 and domU?

[Jayson Vantuyl <jvantuyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, you shouldn't need to.  In your DomU, you provide the netfront and blockfront drivers.  The picture is something like this:

Special Ethernet Driver (Dom0, real eth0) <--> Net Back (Dom0, vifX.0) <--> Xen Hypervisor <--> NetFront (DomU, paravirtualized as eth0)

Special Block Driver (Dom0, real /dev/device) <--> Block Back (Dom0) <--> Hypervisor <--> Block Front (DomU, paravirtualized as /dev/hda1)

 If I had to compile special ethernet and SATA drivers in the dom0, does the domU need the same drivers?

Thanks,
