--- Comment #16 from Ask Bjørn Hansen ask@develooper.com 2009-04-17 04:44:18 EDT --- For the "my xen image is fubar'ed and I need to mess with the data to make it boot" situation I just realized an obvious-ish work-around: Run a new box with the rescue image.
Something like
virt-install -n box1b -r 1024 -f /xen/disks/brokendisk -p -l http://mirrors/5/os/x86_64/ -d --vnc --vcpus=1 -x rescue
...
Anyway, it just saved me a re-install. (Of course the one box that isn't managed completely by puppet etc was the one to go kaboom).
