Hey chaps. What's the best way to populate an lvm to get it ready for xen? Steps I've taken so far; * create file based images using another machine. * create physical group and volume * create logical volume All checks out so far... acid:~# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/xenLabs/etch_lvm' [4.00 GB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/xenLabs/etch_swap' [128.00 MB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/xenLabs/blag_lvm0' [2.00 GB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/xenLabs/blag_swap0' [128.00 MB] inherit So far so good. * mount /dev/xenLabs/etch_lvm /mnt/testing * mkfs.ext3 /dev/xenLabs/etch_lvm * mkswap /dev/xenLabs/etch_swap * debootstrap /dev/xenLabs/etch_lvm OK, still with me? Config file; cat /etc/xen/etch_lvm # -*- mode: python; -*- kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen" memory = 128 name = "etch_lvm" vif = [ '' ] disk = [ 'phy:xenLabs/etch_lvm,sda1,w', 'phy:xenLabs/etch_swap,sda2,w'] dhcp="dhcp" hostname= "etch_lvm" root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "4" vnc= 'yes' xm start etch_lvm => backend device not found. Am I missing something? Perhaps I'm not using dd correctly to fill up the lvm. wrong switches used for cp perhaps? tried dd /path/to/image /path/to/lvm cp -dpR /path/to/image /path/to/lvm xen-3.0.4-1 -- John Maclean - 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
