Xen devel - Oct 2006 - [PATCH] Use a consistent directory for dumps

Instead of scattering xen bits all across the filesystem, we should try
to be a bit more consistent.  This makes the default location for
dumps /var/lib/xen/dump instead of /var/xen/dump as nothing else is
using /var/xen

I agree your patch.

But I have one comment. DomU dumpfile is big,
so I think better that we can specify the default directory 
in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp.
How about you?

Best Regards,

That''s a great idea. Allowing override in the guest config file
wouldn''t
be a bad idea either.
