Hi Markus Thanks for your reply! > Because it's not XML. That really explains a lot ;-) I always assumed the "legacy" format from /etc/xen/mydomainconfig (like in RHEL 5) is the native XEN syntax (I see this is not the case.). So, the xml format from libvirt is like a replacement for the configuration in /etc/xen/mydomainconfig? But if I use virt-install (e.g. in Fedora 8) to install a new machine, it does not create a file /etc/xen/ and also no xml. All It does is creating the s-expression file in /var/lib/. Is there a documentation about the relation between all this different XEN / libvirt configuration files? The architecture part of the documentation on libvirt.org does not answer this question. cheers On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 8:48 AM, Markus Armbruster <armbru@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Urs Golla <urs.golla@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > >> Hi, >> >> ok, but why does the file in /var/lib/xend/dom-uuid/config.sxp use >> such a strange syntax?
