Re: [Xen-users] Xen3.1 and win2k8 hvm: lvm-backed disk sized 0 bytes

Good Day,

We're testing the Xen3.1 branch used on CentOS5 with a win2k8 hvm guest. Unfortunately, it seems like disks exported with phy from an lvm-backed partition show up in the windows installer with a size of 0 bytes. Is this a known issue and/or is there a workaround?

Additional details:

disk = [ 'phy:vpsvg-006/win2k8,hda,w', 'file:/root/ win2k8.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

Result:

Using an image file with tap:aio instead of an LVM partition does work, but dd'ing the installed image back to a LVM partition renders it unusable. Any hints appreciated.

Cheers,
Pim
