What's the reasoning behind 
exporting the xen config files and images? Yes generally you don't want anything 
on the Dom0 that you don't necessarily need including file sharing.

 

We have one larger machine, 6*300GB disks, 8GB mem, 4 xeons acting as NFS-server and some smaller machines with only 36GB disks.

All the (smaller) machines mount /srv/xen, so i can start clients where ever i want...

Other parts hold a copy of gwdg.de, and one of the DOM-U's is an installation-server

The machine used to be non-xen, but i thought it was a waste of resources not to use the machine to the most
