I noticed the koan parameter --virt-path and tried creating a vhost with following command: koan --server <some-ip> --virt --profile CentOS5-xen-i386 -P VolGroup00 The profile and kickstart files are generated by an import from the CentOs5 DVD. This command creates 1 lv. The domU uses this as a disk (xvda) and creates partitions on this. It is working, but not really the thing i want. I want that koan will create multiple lv's on the dom0. Each lv on dom0 is a partition on domU. This means that the lv is directly formatted in the dom0, and you can mount that logical volume like a normal lv (it IS a normal volume) in the dom0. Is this (allready) possible with koan (or virt-inst)?
