I find the two technologies complement each other very well. I use LVM partitions for my virtual machines. The new Debian Etch packaging of Xen has lots of good tools to script up new virtual servers, creating LVM partitions, bootstrapping the OS, setting up it's config and networking, etc. It's all very seamless and really takes a lot of the work that I used to go through before to make/destroy LVM partitions for new servers. -N _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
