ok the jailtime.org image is sparse.  for my information, how to create 
sparse images anyway (possibly without xen-create-image) ?

I just did a fresh gentoo and the filesystem behaves nicely (simple dd 
if=/dev/zero of=gentoo.ext3 bs=1024k count=2000).  So I'll recheck the 
SLES9sp3 issue at work.

Many thanks

something else, when I used to reboot a linux domU, the guest was kept 
alive, rebooting itself.  Now (since 3.1?) I need to xm create it again. 
 any hint/idea ?
