All,

I have asked this question before about COW backed VBD support in Xen. It would be really cool if I could share the same root FS between domains, each having its own COW system.

I am typically using file-backed roots. Does Xen (as User-mode linux) provide utility to create COW disks (linked to a readOnly main disk) which can be used as VBDs.

Arijit
