Re: [Xen-users] Problem: mount: none already mounted or /dev/pts busy ??

[Dylan Martin <dmartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought you couldn't specify partitions in a domU config file.  
[ 'phy:/dev/lvg1/dummy_root,hda1,w', 
  'phy:/dev/lvg1/dummy_usr,hda2,w',
  'phy:/dev/lvg1/dummy_home,hda3,w' ]

The guest OS will think /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3 etc.. are
whold block devices and not partitions on a single block device.  That
would cause what you are seeing, I think.  I think you need a single
lv that you partition up, or multiple lvs that act as multiple block
devices.

AmI wrong about that?  I'm pretty new to Xen, and I'm playing with
that exact thing, so I'd love to know if I'm wrong.
