Quick notes on Xen 3.1 on Debian & LVM

This is mainly to serve my own memory, though if you have questions I can try to clarify this.

The tutorial at HowToForge is good however it supposes you wish to use loopback and image files in stead of LVM partitions.

1. Install your Debian etch with LVM the way you see fit, remember to have spare space on your volumegroups.
2. Follow the HowTo, use Chapter 5 to install Xen from sources, after compiling the xen0 kernel create an initrd for it with mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen0 2.6.18-xen0
3. Continue with tutorial
4. When configuring xen-tools in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf use lvm in stead of dir, I use reiserfs as the filesystem type since it allows online resizing if neccessary.
