To support cold/live migration, having network-attached storage will be required; and file images on NFS would be an extremely simple-to-setup way to achieve that. Personally I use LVM block devices almost exclusively when doing single- node testing, but NFS files are the easiest way I've got to share those images. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
