Xen users - Feb 2007 - Get an extra HD when using Yast wizard - what for?

Just asking if there is a reason unknown to myself that when I request 
to create a 16GB hard drive  (hda), I also get a 3.6GB hdb?  Does Xen 
need this for some reason or is this a Yast - ism? 

Thanks.

Tom Miller

Sounds very much like "yast-ism". What is this hdb used for? Maybe
swap? But that should be possible to handle as hda1 or something, so
you don''t need multiple images files/lvm partitions.

Seems so, the size of 3.6gb sounds ram-related, the usable size of 
non-pae-kernels.

While speculating, is there anything wrong with the command "xm
block-list" (in
Dom0 when DomU is up)?
