Yes, whether in Dom0(root file system) or DomU the file /etc/fstab shows the same ext3, as I made my DomU OS by copying the main files of Dom0.But in Dom0 the file system is ext3 and in DomU in fact is ext2 as I showed the message in last letter. I don't know whether I have made some wrong configuration!

主题: Re: [Xen-devel] The file system type of DomU is ext2 or ext3?

What are the contents of the DomU's /etc/fstab? One thing to check is the type of the root file system in that file.

Hi, all:

At first I have an idea to improve the performance of the log mechanismin ext3 file system of DomU, but when I do some experiment in DomU, I find a strange thing.

When I input command "df -lhT" to see the file system type, it shows that it is ext3. But when I input command "cat /proc/mounts", it shows that "/dev/root / ext2 rw".This means the type is still ext2. So I can't do my experiments.

# df -lhT
>Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
>/dev/sda1 ext3 9.2G 3.7G 5.1G 42% /
>tmpfs tmpfs 129M 0 129M 0% /dev/shm

# cat /proc/mounts
>rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
>/dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0
>/proc /proc proc rw 0 0
>/sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0
>/proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
>none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
>devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
>tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
>none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
>sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0
>/etc/auto.misc /misc autofs rw,fd=6,pgrp=2065,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0
>-hosts /net autofs rw,fd=11,pgrp=2065,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0

Imade the DomU OS image by simply copying the main files from Dom0,and in Dom0 it shows it is ext3.

Whether I made the wrong way in making the image? Or thereare someother problems? I don't kown why!

Thanks all!
