Re: [Fedora-xen] Problem creating VM image using virt-manager in

[Adrian Revill]

Hi,
I too found that part of the guides a bit light on information.

I used the NFS option via a mount from the Dom0 box.

I created a dir /fc6 and extracted all of the first cd to it, then for 
all the other CDs all you have to do is extract the Fedora dir into 
/fc6/Fedora.
You need to edit /etc/exports and add the line
/fc6   *(ro,no_root_squash)
then restart nfs via /etc/init.d/nfs restart

No need to worry about the long path normally given unless you like 
typing or are planning on using it for a mirror service.

In virt-manager you the specify the source as nfs:'hostbox':/fc6

Also i found a comment saying that the file backed storage should be 
under /var/lib/xen/images so tha.t the SElinux doesnt block it, not sure 
if this is still valid for the latest release of FC

regards
Adrian
