Re: [Xen-users] Xen and LVM



Reinstalled as you suggested, getting the same problem.


[root@localhost xen]# xm create -c Alpha
Using config file "Alpha".
Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected.
Device /dev/phy:dev/mapper/VolGroup00-Virtual3 is mounted in a guest domain,
and so cannot be mounted now.

Nothing else is started up at all

Are there any major changes I need to make to my domain config files?

I download the latest 3.0 testing or unstable and I can only run one at a time, I start one it runs, I go to start any other one ( in any random order even ) and I can't, get errors about my lvm already in use by another guest.

I have 4 seperate lvm ext3 partions and 4 seperate lvm swap partions.

I back down to my saved nov 16 version and all 4 domU servers can be started up once again.



I suspect you just need to make sure you've deleted all traces of your
Nov 16 version before installing 3.0. If you build from src use 'make
uninstall', otherwise the following will probably work:

mv /etc/xen /etc/xen.old
rm -rf /usr/lib/python/xen /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/xen

If it still doesn't work, please give details of your dom0 root
filesystem.
