[Xen-devel] Creating sparse images on LiveCD similar to Xen LiveCD
Hi I am trying to make some changes, add a new program to Xen Live CD. Live CD is done very smartly to be able to fit distrubutions and guest images. I have not been able to get my head around it completely. I would like to get in touch with someone who knows more about this. In particular, -- How does sparse img files make it to CDROM ? I could not spot any options in mkisofs. -- How does sparse files from CDROM are available to domains with R/W and not occupying all memory ? Temp file space on disk is used ? OR COW does something even smarter ? -- normal way seems to have linuxrc, I do not see it. Does "init" from the ramdisk starting point ?
