Re: [Xen-users] Ext4 error on DomU [resolved]

["Olivier B." <xen.list@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I answer, with the last kernel (2.6.28.7) there is no more the problem :

   Feb 24 14:20:20 sofia kernel: EXT4-fs: mounted filesystem with 
ordered data mode.
   Feb 24 14:20:41 sofia kernel: JBD: barrier-based sync failed on 
xvda3:8 - disabling barriers
It works very well :)
