main disk on this laptop. pv, vg and lv have been created. How does one tell xen to use the external disk? disk = '[phy:/dev/name_of_external_vg/logical_vol,xvda,w] ?
Two points.
With external disks in the sense of nfs or iscsi, no problem, but when
using usb, be shure that the device get the same device-name each time.
You can use the udev by-uuid entry for this. Look at: /dev/disk/by-uuid/*
-Todd
Furthermore even when using usb2, the overal performance isn't great. I
would consider an etherdisk mounted with nfs...
