I totally share your view. :) I'm in the same condition.

Emre, As you may already know, I still use the config files in /etc/xen and don't mess with the virsh stuff. It all certainly worked fine in F7, and though I haven't fully tested, it appears that it all works fine in F8 as well. I use them for one, because I learned with them, and for two, because in the little time I have spent messing with the gui tools, I haven't found near as much control. That isn't to say that more can be done with the old way, but instead to say that I can do more with the old way. I don't know if there are any plans to deprecate that stuff, but I hope that if there ever are, news makes the list before I end up on a version where I have no clue how to do anything! Dustin

Hi Gaston,
It's true that some documentation is outdated. However, for the
"/etc/xen"
isssue, my custom Xen 3.2 setup still stores ( and I do store there also)
my
config files there.
Maybe what you're saying is "Fedora Specific" which I could understand as it's fedora mailing list.
_The Fedora team has followed the Xensource model and begun to store all VM configuration details in a database, referred to as xenstore._ Source: http://enterpriselinuxlog.blogs.techtarget.com/2007/06/07/fedora-7-xen-first...
OK, I didn't know that. However, I find this xenstore thing a bit complicated.
Then, you might be right. I interpreted it was a modification from Xen, not from Fedora (previously introduced by Xensource).
So, what is the advantage behind this movement?
I think it's managegability.
Thanks, Gaston
However, I never found the flexibility and control
in the Fedora way of Xen implementation (all those xml stuff etc.). most probably, I'm wrong :)

Hello, everybody. I have been struggling with Xen's documentation lately, not finding where to look for accurate and up-to-date info. I remember having read in this list months ago someone saying that the documentation was quite outdated. For example, the xm command _delete_ does not appear in the man pages and many guides still do reference to the guest's config files being stored at /etc/xen (two days ago I discovered that now Xen works in a different way).
My objective is not only to learn how to use Xen, but understand how it works. I'm doing my best looking for info in the net and going through docs in the Xen Wiki, but I might be missing something in my search. Therefore, I would really appreciate if someone could point me to some documentation I should read, or whatever else you could think of.
Thanks, Gaston
