Hi,
Does anyone have any documentation of how to create customized XGT files?
(These are the files are on the Xen host in /opt/xensource/packages/xgt).
This is what I understand so far - the .xgt extension is really a zip file.
The debian.xgt is really these three files zipped up together -
root.tar.bz2, swap.img and template.dat.
I've created my own root.tar.bz2 by tarring up a customised debian install
of sarge. The part I don't understand is the format of the template.dat
file. I want three partitions - a root partition, a swap partition and a
/var partition. I have a file called var.tar.bz2 that I want extracted to
the /var partition during installation. So far it creates the partition,
but doesn't copy the files. Has anyone else done this before?
Here is what my template.dat file looks like:
(xgt
(xgt-version 4)
(xgt_restricted 'true')
(name 'Jons Debian Sarge Guest Template')
(rootfs-type 'ext3')
(description 'Jons Debian for XenEnterprise')
(distrib debian)
(root-vbd sda1)
(root-vbd sdc1)
(boot_params "quiet")
(filesystem
(uri 'root.tar.bz2')
(function root)
(type tar-wholedisk)
(vbd sda)
(total_size 5368709120)
(used_size 455628081)
)
(filesystem
(uri 'swap.img')
(function root)
(type img)
(vbd sdb)
(total_size 1073742848)
(used_size 1073742848)
)
(filesystem
(uri 'var.tar.bz2')
(function user)
(type tar-wholedisk)
(vbd sdc)
(total_size 10485760000)
(used_size 10485760000)
)
)
Thank you,
Jon Eicher
