Is there a way to "offset" loop device usage with xen? For example, so it starts using devices after /dev/loop10 ? tnx, mario _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Well, i use loop devices for other things from fstab, but if i start xen before mounting them, xen takes over. I guess one possibility would be to use loop devices backwards (from last number) so that xen never reaches them... mario On 07/09/2010 03:48 AM, Fajar A.

Yeah, both are sufficient solutions. Thanks, mario On 07/09/2010 09:27 AM, Fajar A.
