I can see how that works using initrd to mount *nbd as root in guest domains, but what about using *nbd in dom0 and then allocating that as VDs to the other domains? Is that supposed to work? I remember something about needing physical raw partitions for VBDs, at least under 1.2. Am I missing something? (For anyone curious, if using *nbd I would need to keep it in dom0, rather than in each guest, for both security and maintainability. For a public Xenoserver, uid 0 on the guests is assumed to be untrusted.) Steve -- Stephen G.
