Xen users - Jun 2008 - Can someone give me a hand with more info about cfg file disk parameter?

Hello, I''m looking to gain access from one DomU to a NFS partition, can
it
be done modifying the .cfg file?

For example, in my testmachine.cfg i have the line:

disk      = [
´file:/home/xen/domains/test/disk.img,sda1,w´,´file:/home/xen/domains/test/swap.img,sda2,w´
]

Its possible to add some extra info so that in the cfg is included the
access to a partition in a NFS machine in my network?

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

If you aren''t trying to boot off NFS can you just mount the export on
the domU via fstab?  Do you have a special requirement to mount in dom0 and then
pass it to the domU?

Yes, i need that one in the cfg because when i create another machine i want
it to deploy with the NFS settings as default with no mount in the new
machine side, i want it to automatically have all the parameters, ram size,
disk, swap, etc.

Thanks,

Mike
