Re: [Xen-users] dom0 / Xen

Thanks. Yes, it does help me understand a bit further. I am trying to 
use the xenoprof tool to collect the data from the hardware counters. 
The instructions were using xen-syms-3.2.0_16718_14_0.4.  Does Dom0 
have the accesses of the file systems of other guest VMs (DomUs)?
