I remember some time ago, there was discussion about the use of an lvm volume as a partitioned vbd, whereby the
xen domain is handed a single vbd which it then correctly detects as being partitioned and creates the associated
device nodes. Try as I might, I am unable to get this to work. I've tried using devfs (which results in my gentoo
install not being able to boot), and I've tried udev. What am I doing wrong?
I've included my domain config file so that you can get a better idea of what I mean.
------------------------------------------------
name = "wmcgrath"
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xenU"
memory = 64
nics=1
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:30' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/fs/management,0301,w', 'phy:fs/wmcgrath,0800,w' ]
ip="210.55.104.30"
netmask="255.255.255.192"
gateway="210.55.104.62"
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
extra = "4"
restart = 'onreboot'
------------------------------------------------
The logical volume in question is /dev/fs/wmcgrath, and I'm exporting it as /dev/sda (0800). However, inside the
xen domain, it's recognised as sda0.
I'm using xen-2.0.6 with linux-2.6.11.10 for dom0 and linux-2.6.10 for domU.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
