Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.20-1
The options necessary for NFS root are not enabled in the kernel, and
could be easily added, I think. With these kernel config options
enabled:
CONFIG_IP_PNP=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
We could have xen domUs with NFS roots. Maybe another flavor could be
added, if there's resistance to building it into the kernel image, such
as -xen-nfsroot-amd64. This would allow another method of live migration of
virtual domains, a powerful feature of xen.
