I No if. the admin should be able to choose what backend to use, regardless of the storage used, and probably of the dom0 OS (you have several backend available in linux as well, isn't it) ? > don't think we should take that road, I think libxl should take care of > all those quicks, and provide an uniform layer that can be trusted > independently of the environment, so the same configuration file can be > used in all supported Dom0 OSes. Ho, that won't work anyway.

Then, as a compromise, could the default be specified in xend-config.sxp and be overridable in the domU's config file ? this way, the admin can set a sane defaut for his setup, and eventually decide what to use on a per-domU basis. -- Manuel Bouyer <bouyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> NetBSD: 26 ans d'experience feront toujours la difference -- _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
