[Xen-devel] unclean file system

[Jefferson Ng <jwng@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the quick help resonses once again,

  We got some mail saying that RAM disks were not the way to go.  So we
re-installed, made several partitions to use, and rebuilt xen.  However,
we're still having trouble mounting partitions when xeno-linux boots.

We give a physical grant of one of our newly made paritions (/dev/hda14 in
particular) to the domain.  But when we start a xenlinux domain we get
error messages saying that "Your systems appears to have shut down
uncleanly".  It then proceeds to check the root file system and runs fsck
on it, which goes fine.  It tries to activate swap but it can't seem to
find /dev/hda3.  These seem odd but not critical.

Then it tries to do fsck on /dev/hda1 (boot) and we get a error message
saying "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct
ext2 filesystem".  It does this for all filesystems in the fstab file.
For the one we give a physical grant (/dev/hda14, mounted on /xen1), it
goes into a seemingly infinate loop where we see the message "/xen1:
recovering journal" over and over unitl it runs out of file descriptors.

As usual we'll take any suggestions.  We think we might need to unmount
the filesystems from the domain0 before letting other Xenolinuxes get a
hold of them, but that doesn't explain where our other errors come from.

Attached is the log, in case that helps any.

More thanks,
David Berlin, Jeremy Chiu, Jefferson Ng
