CentOS virt - Feb 2009 - Centos 5.2, Xen and "/lib[64]/tls"

Hi,

I'm setting up a few machines for virtualization using Xen on Centos 5.2 
x86_64. A lot of how-to's out there tell me to do something like "mv 
/lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled" or similar actions or else Xen might not work 
correctly. Is this something that is still relevant or does it only apply 
to older versions of Xen/Centos? If this is still necessary what is the 
best way to disable this permantently so that after an update the directory 
doesn't get created again?

Regards,
   Dennis

No, it is not relevant since 2006

it is not necessary, so no special settings are needed.

It may be relevant since it depends on the guest.  It's not clear in the
original post whether it's the host or the guest that's 5.2.  In the
worst case, the guests will just be a little slow. :)
