Hi everyone,

I have created a CentOS4 PV on a Xen host contained in a *.img file. Now I want to store that image file
on a NFS server. Does anyone have a config.sxp file example and want to share it on a pastebin service?

I have put the *.img on an NFS server, then mounted the img using #mount -o loop image.img /mnt/centos
and then exported it to the xen host but it does not work since the DomU kernel does not have Root NFS support.

How can I do instead to read directly from the xen host the *.img file stored in the NFS server, I think it would
look like: nfs_root = "/mnt/images/centos/image.img".

** This does not work at all, it ends up with a kernel panic on console.

kernel = "/mnt/images/centos/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.ELxenU"
ramdisk = "/mnt/images/centos/boot/initrd-2.6.9-89.ELxenU.img"
memory = 512
name = "centos4"
vcpus = 1
vif = ['']
dhcp = "dhcp"
ip = "192.168.1.100"
netmask  = "255.255.255.0"
gateway  = "192.168.1.254"
hostname = "centos4"
nfs_root = "/mnt/images/centos/"
nfs_server = "192.168.1.98"
root = "/dev/root"
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'


I would really appreciate one example or config option.
Regards,
Tony.
