RE: [Xen-devel] lvm

[James Harper <JamesH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just as a followup - i'm the one who started this thread :)

 

i got it working almost straight away. dom0 is set up thus:

 

xen1:~# pvscan
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/sda6" of VG "vg00" [35.25 GB / 29.25 GB free]
pvscan -- total: 1 [35.28 GB] / in use: 1 [35.28 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]

 

xen1:~# vgscan
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- found active volume group "vg00"

xen1:~# lvscan
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/vg00/mail2" [2 GB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/vg00/sbssgw1" [2 GB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/vg00/gaia" [2 GB]
lvscan -- 3 logical volumes with 6 GB total in 1 volume group
lvscan -- 3 active logical volumes

 

my config file looks like this:

 

disk = [ 'phy:vg00/mail2,sda1,w' ]

root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

both dom0 and domU are all running debian 'sarge'. No devfs (I could never get devfs working and the general consensus was that it's a horrible thing that deserves to die and will be replaced by something better in 2.6. I like devfs but not enough to fight for it). No kernel patches. debian lvm10 package installed in dom0.

 

hth
