Xen users - Mar 2006 - Samba in a Xen guest domain

Is there any compelling reason to run Samba in a Xen guest domain?   I 
just think it is simpler and more reliable to run Samba straight up from 
the file server.  I''ll be using a LVM2 VBD formatted XFS.

Is there any compelling reason for server consolidation anyway? 
Yes: 
- security
- better utilisation of resources
- benefits from the separation of services
