Hi XEN users, First of all: this is not really a xen-question, more an LVM+XEN question. I''m redesigning my vserver host (moving to xen), and right now I''m thinking about using XFS as the filesystem in the guests. I''m going to use lvm-snapshotting for backup, so I have to think about memory in Dom0. My backup strategy is as follows: xfs_freeze a domU, snapshot it, xfs_unfreeze it, back it up, remove the snapshot. My lvm- partitions vary in size, the biggest is about 20 gigabytes. I have a couple of questions for those who use this combination: * can I call xfs_freeze from dom0, or does it have to be domU that calls that command? (I guess so, as the domU kernel needs to freeze the FS, but probably I''m wrong) - this would imply that my domU needs to have the exact same timing with Dom0 (freeze inside domU, snapshot in dom0, unfreeeze in domU)... * how much memory (I''m pretty low on memory) should I allocate for dom0?
