Hi all, This can sound stupid but how can I tell Xen not to create its default bridge ? I create all my bridges at boot and I don''t want Xen to do anything at all at this level. Even if I give the name of an existing bridge in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp, it always add eth0 to it. Is there another way than editing /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge to avoid this ? Some undocumented setting ? Thanks for tips. -- Sylvain COUTANT ADVISEO http://www.adviseo.fr/ http://www.open-sp.fr/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Some undocumented setting ?Try setting (vif-bridge null) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp? That might do more than you want though. You can always make your own vif-bridge script, eg (vif-script vif-my-bridge) We use these two settings to route our xen domains rather than switch them... -- Nick Craig-Wood <nick@craig-wood.com> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It does too much mess (hangs my server exactly: creating a bridge on a dhcp+nfsroot interface is a real bad idea ;-).
