RE: [Xen-users] flat file system as disk

["Pallab Chakrabarty" <pchakrabarty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply..

But still I want to know what holds not to use directory structure as
disk. Becoz the error results here due to kernel only..

Cant be fixed ?? or Xen has limitations in some way..



- regards
   Pallab

BTW - on top of all the other comments, putting
anything important in /tmp is a bad idea, bits of
it are liable to disappear without warning when
your cleanup job runs. I'll leave it to your
imagination how I found out how annoying that can
be !
