Re: [Xen-users] Using lvm for domUs

["Rene Purcell" <rene.purcell@xxxxxxxxx>]

did you create partition in your LV ? I mean you added something like "phy:/dev/main/xen_DomU_logs,hda,w" when you've installed your distribution did you create a partition hda1 in the installation process or did you just copy some data into hda ?

what's the distro you've installed ?

That's precisely what virt-manager and virt-install do. This does not
solve my difficulty of accessing the contents of the LVM partitions from
Dom0 to do backkup.
