Package: xen-tools
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

As requested by Steve in his blog post
http://blog.steve.org.uk/index.php/archives/2006/02/16/this-is-not-an-exit/
I tried the CVS version that contains a patch to make xen-tools able to
install under lvm (since I was already planning to file a wishlist
asking for it).

The resulting config file is slightly broken:

disk   = [ 'phy:ar/xenolvm2-root{,sda1,w','phy:ar/xenolvm2-swap,sda2,w']

But after removing the spurious "{" and making it (and changing the
devices to hda where relevant, since I still have trouble using them as
"sda") it boots correctly!

I don't like very much the fact that it doesn't create the image unless
you completely comment out the default "dir" config entry, failing with:

"Please choose either LVM or loopback, not both"

I think it should be possible to make xen-create-image create some
images on files and some others on lvm as necessary by just passing it
the appropriate flags!

Also, it would be nice if xen-create-image supported installing in a
phisical partition (already created) by specifying it on the command
line somehow! 


Thanks!

Guido
