Yes. But as I've said, I also tried using /dev/sda2 and /dev/xvda2 but
with no luck.

This system (domU) used to be in another dom0 that uses /dev/xvd*
partitions then I dump'ed and restore'd a copy of this system to this
new dom0 that uses /dev/sd* partitions.

I remember that the original partitions of this domU from its original
dom0 were:

 202        1   10240001 xvda1 => /
 202        2  356485632 xvda2 => /data
 202        3     917504 xvda3 => swap

But even from the original dom0, the domU do not have a /dev/xvdb partition.

Going back to your question. I don't remember creating the /dev/xvdb
partition and it doesn't have an /dev/xvdb partition.

Before I restore'd the dump'ed domU to its new place, I fdisk'ed the
volume and created two (2) partitions for the /boot and /. Please take
note that the original domU from the original dom0, I dump'ed the
/dev/xvda1 which contains the entire / partition and when I restore'd
it to the new dom0 for this new domU, I made sure that I mounted the
second partition first which is the / then mounted the first partition
inside the /boot.

Now, I'm not aware if there is any other configuration that checks and
expects this /dev/xvdb partition aside from checking the /etc/fstab
which I already changed as per my original message for this thread.

Please advice. Thank you.

Regards,

GNUbie
