Thread-topic: [Xen-users] XCP noob question
Hi Marco:

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I needed to know.

Do you know whether this is documented anywhere? I tried to read
everything I could get my hands on before posting this question but I
didn't see it. BTW, it is perfectly fine if the documentation is only in
the source code somewhere, I just need a hint or two about where to look
before posting my next NOOB question :-)

Cheers,

Joe

The root mountpoint is passed as first argument of post-install-script.
The following code should do the trick.

------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

ROOT=$1

mkdir -p $ROOT/opt/foo/bar
------------------------------------------------

Regards,
Marco
