I wholeheartedly agree that partitions are a thorn and should be deprecated. unfortunately, HVM DomU's require them; and most tools (libvirt in this case) default to creating them in most (all?) cases. i might be wrong, but i think that even recent linux installers, which are virtualization aware (ubuntu jeos and suse limejuice) do the same, using the same old partitioners as always (with just a few tweaks, like using the noop scheduler by default) so, i think partitions are going to stay bothering us for a while. -- Javier _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
