[Xen-users] xm save and OCFS2?

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if anyone knows why an "xm save" of a domain doesn't work to an OCFS2 volume?  My current Xen setup shares storage space between my hosts via OCFS2 on SAN-attached storage.  If I try to do an xm save of a running VM and put the save file on the OCFS2 volume, I get the following:

Error: /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xc_save 25 12 0 0 4 failed

Usage: xm save [-c] <Domain> <CheckpointFile>

Save a domain state to restore later.

  -c, --checkpoint               Leave domain running after creating        

                                 snapshot

xm log shows these events:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendCheckpoint.py", line 112, in save

    forkHelper(cmd, fd, saveInputHandler, False)

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendCheckpoint.py", line 361, in forkHelper

    raise XendError("%s failed" % string.join(cmd))

XendError: /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xc_save 25 12 0 0 4 failed

And then the domain suspends, and then it crashes.  Any hints?

Thanks - Nick
