[Xen-users] HVM and physical VDBs

[Mathieu Guillaume <mat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently got my hands on a VMX-supporting processor and I've been 
trying to install different OSes.
I managed to get a Windows XP guest working in HVM mode (with SDL, VNC 
gives me messed up input) but I'm having issues with the install on the 
linux guest.
Until that's fixed, I'm setting up the linux guest as a paravirtualized 
host. I'm using a physical device (lvm volume) as my main partition like 
this:
['phy:/dev/Guests/Guest1,sda1,w']

If I want to migrate this system later to a HVM guest, can I keep this 
same partition? If so, how would I go about it? My understanding is that 
the ioemu system we need for the hardware virtualization emulates disks, 
while paravirtualized hosts use partitions, but it's still all pretty 
obscure to me.
