so what id like to do as far as the xen guest goes. and we should probably do this with all production xen guests. is create a snapshot of the lvm volume once the system is up and running and ready. so if the chroot explodes again we put the snapshot in place start the instance and things are back in a matter of minutes. we would have a pre-configured system ready to roll.
thoughts? opinions? objections?
I'm kind of in the boat that we should just use large files and skip the partition all together, that way its an scp or a cp away from having another guest.

That works also. one issue we would face is storing the xen guest images. that will get big fast. But i do really like the idea. we could do something to help us manage bottlenecks also. bring up an app server image when needed and some quick configuration we have a new app server. or proxy or any of our other services.
