Re: Newbie question about amd64 Xen Dom0

["Ernesto Bascon" <ebasconp%gmail.com@localhost>]

My wd1a is ffsv1 with 16k block size.
I will install everything on a 8k block size partition again.

Anyway, do you recommend creating a partition mounted in /grub?

Another question, reading,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems

I've seen that FFS supports a 4GB file size as maximum.
Is that correct?
If so, how can I work with several Gbs DomUs? Is there any way to
split the disk image in several files [as vmware does]?
