Excellent. Success stories are good to hear.

I suspect adding devfs support wouldn't be too hard, but its
probably not high on the list of priorities for us. Do any
common distros use it by default?

Not good. I think xend is getting more robust over time.

So: you started a domain, halted it, and it correctly
disappeared. You then issued the same xm create command to
recreate it and it failed to come up.

Odd. Any error output from xend or xm?

How about using NFS for the moment?

It would be nice to add a super-fast page flipping filesystem
interface, but its on the todo list.
