DESCRIPTION
- xen-create-nfs is a simple script which allows you to easily create
- a single configuration file for a Xen guest which will mount its remote filesystem over an NFS root.
It doesn't create any images to use for local storage, and it doesn't- support more than the minimal number of options to completement the
existing xen-create-image script, however it is hopefully useful.
