Re: [Xen-users] Considering Xen for Ubuntu VPS environment
 
 
If you have the version of pygrub out of Xen 4.0.1,
  
 
 1) You run the version of the kernel distributed by Ubuntu(thanks to pv_ops) 2) I dont see how ACLs wouldnt be supported by the filesystem. 
3) You have full access to the server console through /dev/hvc0 4) Distro level upgrades(as in from 10.04 to 10.10) *could* break the booting process. this is true.

 The only con with using Ubuntu paravirtualised is lack of a framebuffer.

 Greetings- 
 
Server visualization seems very different than desktop visualization ala VirtualBox, Parallels, VMware. Already I have encountered (with Virtuozzo) that: 
 
1) Does not boot a standard Ubuntu kernel, so is unable to run IPTables 
2) Is not able to support ACL's on the filesystem 
3) Unable to get to the server console - to watch the boot process, to fix sshd, etc... 
4) Does not support Ubuntu distro version upgrades. Stuck at the level you start at. 
 
I have heard that there are tools to be able to access the server console with Xen, but what about my other current points? 
 
Which Xen providers do a good job with Ubuntu? (10.04 at present) 
 
I would want a custom partitioning scheme, separate /boot, /, /srv, /var and so on... and ext4 for /boot, xfs for all others. 
 
I assume with higher versions of Xen comes more capabilities, so knowing which version of Xen said provider uses would also be a search criteria I guess.
