So to confirm, rather than making /dev/xenvg/domudisk and doing:

disk = ['phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk,xvda,w']

and partitioning /dev/xenvg/domudisk in the guest, you'd make (for example):

/dev/xenvg/domudisk-root
/dev/xenvg/domudisk-home
/dev/xenvg/domudisk-swap

and configure it like:

disk = [
   'phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk-root,xvda1,w',
   'phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk-home,xvda2,w',
   'phy:/dev/xenvg/domudisk-swap,xvda3,w'
]

Is that right? The idea had crossed my mind, but all the tools seemed to 
want to do it the other way.

Jeff
