  There's your problem.  Remove "remount-ro" from /etc/fstab, after
 remounting it read/write via:

    mount -o remount,rw /

  Or mounting it outside xen once you've stopped it running.

OK. That was stupid of me not to look at /etc/fstab. But, why are xen-tools creating a read only domU file system by default in the first place? That's what really threw me because it was just so odd that is was being done by default that I just couldn't get past that. I'm really green at virtualization so I thought I was missing some major piece of configuration. Why create an install that is, for all practical purposes, useless by default? I just don't understand.
