[Xen-devel] Multiple instance from one Xen image/partition
Is it possible to have non-persistence mode for domains in Xen similar to VMWare non-persistence mode (VMWare GSX) such that number of domains can be instantiated from one Xen domain-U disk image? /Ketan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
