Hi
I am trying to create
a domU using the nfs mount. But I am getting
some problem which I
am listing down. I need your help in solving the same.
xm create -c nfs
vmid=1 gives the following error : Error that I am getting is listed in red
Font color.

Ok.

Probably due to long

option.

The config file nfs
that I am using is :
kernel =
"/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5xenU"
memory = 512
name =
"vm01"
vif = [ '' ]
ip =
"10.112.77.71"
netmask=
'255.255.255.0'
root =
"/dev/nfs"
nfs_server =
'10.112.69.119'
nfs_root =
'/linuxfs'
The whole filesystem
is copied on 10.112.69.119 under /linuxfs. And I
am able to mount this
on any remote system.
Actually , the problem
here lies with "root=/dev/nfs", what it
actually points to ?
Can any body help me out to solve this problem?
Thanks & Regards
