Package: xen-tools
Version: 3.9-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

$ xen-create-image --help states :
"...
--dir         Specify where the output images should go.
              Subdirectories will be created for each guest
              If you do not wish to use loopback images specify --lvm
             or --evms.  (These three options are mutually exclusive.)"
"

The same information is in the manual page.

In fact xen-create-image and friend is adding a "domains" subdirectory
to the provided path.

It is unusfull and annoying. It does not let the user have a layout
like (unless I miss some documentation ) :
/svn/xen-domains/domain_foo1
/svn/xen-domains/domain_bar1
etc...

I would appreciate if this could be fixed in a next upload/release.

Removing "/domains/" on any line matching the following grep seems a
quick way to fix this :
$ grep domains /usr/bin/{xen,xt}-*
