Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: How to expand the file created by xenguest-install? |
Obviously you don't use
xenguest-install to set up your guests as it is not possible to do that
natively...
Finally, what I did:
- I installed a guest FC5 with xenguest-install in a file. (1 partition
for "/", grub installed in first sector, no swap partition)
- create a new lvg , mount it
- from dom0, lomount
mount the file (partition 1)
- copy everything
from the file (partition 1) to the lvg (cp -ax)
- change the grub.conf (root=) and fstab ("/" partition) in the lvg to
adapt to the new name for /dev/sda1
- change the corresponding xen config file to replace xvda by sda1 and
put the name of the lvg
..and it works great.
I now have a "base" version for FC5 in that lvg, I can duplicate it to
create a new FC5 guest when needed, and I indeed can easily change the
size of the base "disk" (lvextend, resize2fs).
Thanks everyone for your help.

Thanks, but I still miss how to grow the partition inside the disk
inside the lvg (lvg -> /dev/xvda -> /dev/xvda1)
I don't have partitions inside of the LVs in dom0. It works great for all
distros (SUSE 9.x/10.0, SLES8/9, RHEL3/4, CentOS3/4, FC2/3/4/5, Gentoo,
Ubuntu). Just make the LV the partition for the domU guests. Then, you
don't have to worry about a partition table from either dom0 or domU and the
guests don't care about it either.
