Changes

In this chapter of [[Xen Virtualization Essentials]] we will be looking at creating a root filesystem for a Xen domainU system on an NFS mounted filesystem. In many ways this is little different from other techniques covered in preceding chapters in that similar techniques can be used to populate the root filesystem. The difference comes at the point that the domainU system is booted. Instead of running on a local filesystem, the root filesystem for our domainU system is instead located on a remote server. This is particularly useful when performing live migrations of running Xen based systems from one machine to another.

Xen should now create the guest domain, mount the root filesystem over NFS and boot up the system.
