We're writing to the following paths that aren't standard: device-misc/vif/default-link hvmpv/{xpv,xdf,xpvd,xnf}/version Can they be opened up? (Ideally we'd use the guest/ suggestion below, and we will, but there's already stuff out there assuming it can do this.) Also, I'd like to see an explicit /l/d/domid/guest directory. The guest can write anything there, but there's a clear indicator that it's not to be trusted (we could even document this stuff by expanding xenstore.txt ?) regards john
