Yes, if you're using sid/lenny. No if you're using Etch (unless you use the backported package at http://apt.steve.org.uk/ ) Read the manpage and pay attention to the section entitled 'PARTITIONING'. > one my physical system i have two partitions on my hard disks, one has > the file system type ext3 and the other xfs.

Mutiple disks are supported, as described above, but they are assumed to come from the same LVM group, EVSM group, or physical disk. You could probably cheat and use symlinks though .

Here's an example config from a multi disk xen image with the "partitions" coming from LVM: --snip-- kernel = "/kernelImage" memory = 512 name = "com.example.shares" vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:01:00:17,bridge=lanbr0', 'mac=00:16:3e:01:00:18,bridge=xenbr0'] disk = ['phy:vg01/com.example.shares.root,sda1,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.usr,sda2,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.var,sda3,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.home,sda4,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.scratch,sda5,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.backup,sda6,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.data,sda7,w', \ 'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.holdingdisk,sda8,w'] #'phy:vg01/com.example.shares.music,sda9,w'] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" --snap-- so yes it can be done -- http://noneisyours.marcher.name http://feeds.feedburner.com/NoneIsYours
XEN: xen-create-image with more than one disk
Hello, i'm a xen newby and want to create a xen image with more than one disk but i found nothing about this? is it actually possible? Here my szenario: one my physical system i have two partitions on my hard disks, one has the file system type ext3 and the other xfs. Now i want to create a xen image where the system data is on the ext3 partition and a data partition is on the xfs partition. so is it possible to create an image and say something like this: image disk one (hda) = /mount/ext3/ext3disk and image disk two (hdb) = /mount/xfs/xfsdisk? greetz Klaus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
