Does Xen have a native import/export format? I'm WAY more familiar with VMware offerings (which handle loads of formats), but if there's a way to add OVA import to Qubes down the road, I'd be in love. Heck, if there's an add-on or a command to run from Dom0 that I could use now, I'm down. On Mon,

I used to run samba server on Archlinux inside Qubes. Actual data was stored on a separate volume group and mounted in the server vm on boot. The main difficulty was to do routing and firewalling properly on every change of network topology. The main risk was that eventually many vms had to be
