Thread-topic: [Xen-API] Creating an SR from an already mounted moosefs share

Edward,

You can create SRs out of physical media, or remote block IO devs exposed under things like iscsi, etc.

Depending on how your device shows up, you should be able to. However, if it is just a remote file system mount no. It would have to be a block of some type to my knowledge.

Related commands can be found at the following:

These articles may be old, but they’re still very relevant.

Subject: [Xen-API] Creating an SR from an already mounted moosefs share

Hi, I'm currently running XCP 1.6, and it has been running quite nicely.

Recently, I had created a moosefs mount on the XCP host

e.g. /media/mfs.

Is it possible to create a SR that makes use of that directory I whose moosefs share I had mounted?
